fingernail infection vinegar

and yes any open wound can cause infection. keep an eye out for possible signs of infection. what did your doc. say.

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 read that doctors put vinegar on spots to test for warts, so I went ahead and tried it on the spot. This is the result. http://www.medhelp.org/user_photos/next_photo/682865?personal_page_id=5414441 This looks a whole lot like examples of Fordyce spots. They don't itch or hurt and you can barely feel them when running a finger over it. I'm extremely nervous and would like to know what you guys think. Please help!

I have a bladder infection. Yes, I am on antibiotics. My questions are, can I take cranberry pills that also have vitamin C in them? And also can I drink Kefir with probiotics in it while I'm on the antibiotic?I'm trying to keep my body in balance while the antibiotics are working. I've also read that a mixture of water, vinegar and honey may help. But I'm wondering if the vinegar might be too acidic and irritate my bladder even more. Please give me your thoughts on all of this.

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.

s general health. Ridges, pits,thickening or thinning of nails may suggest an underlying infection, kidney disease or nutrient deficiency. In your case,differentials will be a fungal infection, psoriasis or it may be a benign presentation of an underlying infection. Do you have any other associated signs or symptoms like a rash or scaly plaque in other parts of the body?

Its probably just chigger bite, rub a little vinegar on it it will take the itch out if its still itching paint it with one coat of clear fingernail polish it will seal it and stop the itch

ok...another question, i've been reading that vinegar will make warts as well as other skin abrasions etc turn white after being applied to it for about 10 minutes due to the acid. If you do this on a bump on the skin and it does not turn white, does this mean it is most likely not a wart? I know we all have bumps on the skin... I have a tiny bump on my scrotum (when I say tiny think if mark / dot put on you from a medium point sharpee marker).

what are the chances of HIV infection for a female who had her vagina cut with a fingernail and was fingered with about a half tablespoon of pre-ejaculate right after?

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?

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.

the other guy got hold of my ear with his hand. Later when I got home I saw blood on my ear. i had some (3-4) fingernail cuts on my ear and there was dried blood over it. I washed my ear and went to bed. When i woke up in morning I realized that it could have caused an HIV infection because he may be having blood on fingernails from nail-biting . I do not know the the other guy and i have absolutely no idea about his HIV status. But I am too worried about getting an infection like this.

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.

There are natural things to use such as Apple cider vinegar in the tub but my doctor said Monistat 7 would be fine if that happen.

I have a rather large splinter wedged under my fingernail. I've tried to dig it out unsuccessfully with tweezers and a long pin. I soaked it in eardrops for swimmers because I thought that might prevent infection. There's no blood and it doesn't really hurt. What should I do?

Hi, I am not really adept with this however, studies have not shown substantial and conclusive evidence with regards to the role of apple vinegar on urinary tract infection. The closest scientific article I can get showed that apple juice actually increases the risk for kidney stone formation after 6 years when taken at a specific amount each day.At this point however, there seems to be no harm in trying.

t get a sudden respiratory infection (but I really doubt you would). Vinegar is mostly water, and your body can handle a bit of acidity without much issue.
