Hello I recently got married in Cuba and received a manicure at the resort I was staying at. They had a booth setup for tourists in which they perform manicures. I told the lady that I only wanted my nails painted and as I was looking at polish she began quickly cutting my cuticles as there was also a language barrier. It caught me off guard so I let her complete the cutting of the cuticles with the manicure set she had at her station.
Why is my fingernail on my middle finger starting to pull away from my skin and turn white and the bottom half is pitting and peeling? What could this be?
I want to know if you can get HIV from a manicure. I have been getting them for years and just recently thought of the dangers due to being nipped when having my cuticles cut the past two times. I for tested for HIV after the first incident but this past time it happened one week ago. The lady nipped me and there was a bit of blood that bled out- she put antiseptic on it right away to avoid infection. Anyway, they clean their tools with a uv sanitizer ...
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.

so somehow you got blood under your fingernail but never saw it until the fingernail grew enough to see it. How do you know it was even blood?
You had no risk.
From the history that you have provided it looks like paronychia of the nail which progressed to infection of the fingertip. Paronychia is a soft tissue infection around a fingernail that begins as cellulitis but that may progress to a definite abscess. It is of two types: acute caused by bacterial infection and chronic caused by fungal infection.
gross as it is, it was more or less an acne type cystic boil with infection and some blood that went under the fingernail - still no risk? even if viral load was high at the time?
Got a manicure amd bled while cuticles were being cut. Average place. Not sure if tools were sanitized. Does this pose a risk due to the blood?
At the top of the fingernail, where it grows out fron the finger, is a small semi-circle of white then the rest of the finger nail is pinkish. Prior to moving to where I now live my nails all had this little area now 3 years later only my thumbs do. Can anyone tell me if this is something to be concerned about? Thanks for any help!!
I went to wash it and she pulled away and her fingernail digging into my hand I used and cut it with her fingernail drawing blood. Is there a risk to spreading herpes to the underneath of her fingernail grinding the virus into the underneath of the nail? Thanks.
About two months ago my fingernail developed a black mark near the nailbed. It has since continued up toward the top of the nail while changing brownish now puple with the uppermost tip is turning white. I have an appointment in October.It doesn't hurt and does not appear to look fungal according to my doctor. Is October to long to wait? I read that melanoma can develop under the nail.
Obtaining sample nail clippings and sending it off for a fungal culture can confirm the diagnosis of an infection. If present, then appropriate anti-fungal medications should be started.
There are also various rheumatological diseases that can present with fingernail symptoms, and if suspected, various anti-antibody tests can be done as well as a referral to a rheumatologist.
Hey guys is it safe to have a shellac manicure done while pregnant?
I got a manicure on Sunday at a Vietnamese place. I forgot to bring my own tools so decided to let them use theirs. I saw the lady who did The manicure take the tools out of the uv light sanitizer. However she nipped me while cutting my cuticles in one finger- a very tiny nip but I did bleed. I want to know if the uv light does indeed clean the instruments if someone else used it and there was HIV earlier that day and for how long does it have to be in the uv light machine?

My opponent pierced my skin in the palm of my hands between two fingers with his fingernail. It was bleeding a little for a while. I noticed my opponent bites his nails a lot (don't know if that is important). Am I at risk of an hiv or other STD infection if the fingernails had blood underneath them or other fluids?
Thank you.
