Avatar m tn The gram stain has nothing to do with herpes. Bacterial infections can also cause blisters, and are actually confused with herpes quite a bit. I would advise that when 4 months have passe since this contact, you have a herpes antibody test? Have you ever had one before? If not, and the test is positive, you won't be able to know when you were infected, just that you are infected.
Avatar f tn Hello, It is true that birth control pills can cause increased chances of acne and irritated hair follicles. Please keep the area clean and apply some warm compresses and topical antiseptics. Also use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove and wear cotton undergarments. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics and incision and drainage may be needed.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am 14 and I'm still clean. I've been having blood and pus filled pimples on my pubic area and my bottom. It really hurts. I try my best not to touch it but when it burst on it's own, a lot of blood and puss would come out. And after a certain sticky "long" pus comes out, the pimple appears hollow. I've been sick with bacteria Infection and now eye infection but I'm very afraid to go to the doctors cause I fear I might have to show the doctor the pimple.
Avatar n tn I don't think it will hurt at all to stop, I don't like long-term antibiotics as they can also kill all the friendly bacteria and flora in your system, this, too, can cause acne issues. One thing, have you tried Vitamin A, this can help with acne.
Avatar f tn Once you get herpes, it lays dormant in nerves for the rest of your life, and can re-manifest itself on the skin during recurrent outbreaks. Herpes blisters don't really pop like pimples, because pimples are full off thick pus. (Plus, it would really hurt to pop a herpes blister).Herpes blisters are filled with almost clear fluid. It is generally unusual to show your first symptoms after a year, but it is possible.
Avatar m tn Jason does have a lot of not so natural and harmful ingredients -- not one of the cleanest companies on the health food store shelf. Aubrey is quite clean, but doesn't make a loofa soap, so if you want to try the Jason for that see if it helps, but again, it does contain a lot of petroleum products and preservatives that might not be so helpful.
Avatar f tn Hello, For the skin and hair issues and the periods problems that you are having, two important possibilities which need to be ruled out are thyroid disease and PCOS (polycystic ovarian disease). Both can cause pimples, acne, dry skin and brittle hair. Hence get your thyroid profile done. For PCOS, you can get tests like 2 hr GTT, serum androgen and testosterone levels, LH-FSH ratio, prolactin levels, TSH levels,17-hydroxyprogesterone levels and 3D ultrasound uterus done.
Avatar f tn Stomach cramps with antibiotics are not uncommon (the antibiotics make the muscles of the intestine move more quickly, and can cause loose stool as well). However, fever and itching can be a sign of an allergy. It is possible to develop an allergy at any time in your life, even to an antibiotic you have taken before. I hope this helps.

Avatar f tn The pimples concern me. Whatever the underlying cause of the problem, it sounds like he now has a secondary skin infection. I also agree with el_em above that fire ants are a possibility but don't think they've marched as far north as Michigan yet. Their stings result in localized pockets of infection just like pimples. Another possibility is mange. Did your vet do a skin scraping for that when your dog got the cortisone shot?
Avatar n tn Hi madam, i got ur advice few minutes back for raj413, madam can you plz tell me pimples on pennis not beacause of mastrubution, i can continue with mastrubution in my regular life.
Avatar f tn He compares it to my skin. I have HPV but after being checke by my gyno, she said i can not cause any skin rash, irritation, or pimples from this. He and I are having many problems due to this...anyone have any idea of what it is? I feel that it is just our skin contact and I am causing him minor acne. But he complains that it is not that, he has had acne and this is different. His skin feels hot, and the surface of his skin has changed. He has small red pimples all over his back and arms.
Avatar n tn anyways about a week after the encounter had burning in the urethra on urination and with no urination, had tests done negative for chylamdia and gonnorhea, took weeks worth of antibiotics no change. these symptoms are daily, ive had no lesions, rashes or blisters in the genital area at all.. its been over a year since the encounter.
Avatar f tn Try be gentle after the shower so as not to irritate the breakouts and cause more redness. Itchy, painful and open sores on the genitals signals a more serious infection, such as herpes, in which case you should see a doc asap. Herpes generally includes flu-like symptoms. I'm sure you just have a case of genital breakouts, but if you are still concerned, it never hurts to get checked out by a doc. They see this kind of thing all the time.
Avatar m tn Hello, Fungal rash will not present as pimples and since the rash is presenting with sensitive pimples, it can be due to irritated hair foillicles in the area or due to herpes sores (chances are less). Keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.
Avatar f tn After two months i started getting pimples again . So for a month and a half i had antibiotics again but they were completely not responsive. My acne got worse than ever before. I did not have systic acne but it was pretty bad . I had big red stubborn pimples all over my cheeks . At 17 and a half i was put on accutane again and the course lasted for six months . By that time i just turned 18 . My skin cleared up but i still have acne marks on my cheeks . I am off accutane since 3-4 months .
