nail

Avatar m tn appearance, with no lunula (the crescent-shaped whitish area of the bed of a fingernail). It is thought to be due to a decrease in vascularity. Hence there appears a red or brown distal transverse band on the tip of fingernail. It is found in severe liver disease like cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, hyperthyroidism, and/or malnutrition. Since your liver enzymes are normal, chances are less likely that you have terry nails.

Avatar m tn Hey there, Am I at risk of any serious disease if I get a very mild scratch from some other man's fingernail? This happened to me a few days back while travelling in a train. Since then, I have been thinking about it and it has been causing me a lot of anxiety. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks and regards.

Avatar f tn My cuticles peel, along with the skin behind my cuticles. They are also red during this process. This happens a few times a year and I can't figure out why? Should I be worried or can it be fixed? Please help!
Avatar f tn I bite my fingernails off and one of my cuticles is really red and sore. Almost like an open sore. It looks like it's on the verge of bleeding. Well, I inserted that finger inside another guy's ***. Is that a risk?
Avatar m tn s fingernail who was standing next to me. No cut, no bleeding, just a mild scratch which stayed red for about an hour and then disappeared. I have had a tetanus shot in december 2010 and a three shot anti-rabies vaccination about 10 months ago. Its been more than a week now. No complications so far. Am I ok? I would be extremely grateful for any help and support which can help me calm my anxieties down. Thanks a ton.
Avatar f tn If you scratch your fingernail down your daughters back, does it leave a red line? The doctor did this to my son and he got a dark red line that remained for a couple of minutes.
Avatar n tn Hello, Last night I was at a strip club with some friends and I got a lap dance from one of the girls. My finger was dry and the skin below the fingernail area was peeling so there was a small cut. I don't believe it was bleeding at the time, however the outer layer of my skin is peeled off and you can see the red skin beneath. I have done some research and searched the forums but I could not find a similar question.
Avatar f tn s Adrenal White Line With your fingernail or the dull end of a spoon, draw a line across your belly. In moderate to severe cases of adrenal fatigue, the line will stay white, and even get wider over the course of time, while a "normal" reaction would be for the line to almost immediately turn red. This test has historically been used to indicate severe adrenal fatigue and Addison's Disease, milder cases of adrenal fatigue may not exhibit this sign.
Avatar m tn Is it true hat if a diagnosed mole under your fingernail that does not involve cuticle means itis NOT melanoma? Should all lines, diagnoses of a mole line in your fingernail be biopsied?
1833444 tn?1325557062 Agreeing with Advocate1955, be sure to discuss this with your doctor. There's a condition called 'Terry's Nails' that is sometimes associated with advanced liver disease: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry's_nails It doesn't really sound as though this is what you're describing, but you should let them know regardless.
Avatar n tn My fingertips on my right hand have severe pain. It started in my pointer finger. I thought it might be ingrown fingernail so I used fingernail clippers to get it out(with no success of seeing signs of ingrown fingernail).. well each day i woke up it was in a different fingertip. This lasted about a week and went away. It came back a few weeks ago but much worse. All my fingertips are sore, but the severity of it moves every couple days to a new finger.
Avatar f tn Yes, my fingernail does, like a scratch...... Assuming I did that right.... What, if anything, does this show, according to your test? I went to doc this morning because I could not deal with the itching anymore... everything else is "do-able", but the constant itching is harsh. She drew blood to check my thyroid, which I feel is going to be okay, because it's been checked, checked, re-checked and checked again, and it's always fine.... There's something else...
Avatar n tn I should also mention, if you are sure it's orange and not red, that is significant because there are some causes of red fingernails that are pretty serious. (The most minor sounding one is carbon-monoxide poisoning.) So again, unless you know an obvious cause such as a blow to your hand, I'd see the doctor.
Avatar n tn t mention that yet). And resulting in these two red spots and this red line under the head. But then I noticed that whenever I'm fully erected or somewhat erected, the spots or red cuts disappear. I know it can't be a yeast infection because its not itching or burning and the cuts aren't deep. I had sex on monday and tuesday, and late wednesday night the red spots healed up i think. But theres a slight peeling around the area now.
Avatar f tn my 2 year old son hurt himself, his baby fingernail is coming off, its almost half off. will at home bandages keeping it together heal it???
Avatar f tn I have a red itchy bump in my vagina and have had it for about 4 days now. I started using Monistat 3 for a 3 day thinking it would go away. I don't have a doctor to go to because I'm trying to immigrate to Canada and can't get a doctor without spending a lot of money... can anyone please help? The itching started to slowly go away on the 2nd monistat day (yesterday) but this morning when I went to the washroom it started to itch and kind of hurt a little bit...
Avatar f tn My infant poked me in the eye a few hours ago. Its a little red and almost feels as if I have an eyelash or something in it. No blurred vision just gets watery and very irritated feeling...
Avatar n tn I did see the line where the skin was cut but It didnt bleed when I squeezed it. However, one of my other fingers that I trimmed earlier stung a bit when I checked it. I squeezed it a bunch and a tiny bit of blood emerged... I dont remember any precum getting onto that finger, however. Given those two finger scenarios, is PEP necessary? I cannot get HIV. I have taken every safety precaution, and feel like I have failed. Please help.
Avatar n tn I got an infection on my finger right behind the fingernail. It is very red and tender to touch> It is mostly on the top part of the finger. It is also rather swollen.
