Avatar m tn People get superficial wounds all the time and they typically do not get infected. A scratch is really nothing to worry about. A cut that is infected would turn red around it, sometimes have pus as well. I'm sure you have had many cuts over the last 24 years and they have all turned into nothing. Don't worry about this.

If in doubt have a physician look at it. If it is a bite from a Lyme tick prompt treatment will eliminate a lifetime of problems.
Avatar m tn ve had this happen to me more than once) Any serious crunching to the nail on your finger will cause this to happen - the bruising underneath the nail is what causes it to fall off, and the bump in the middle of where the nail used to be is actually the new fingernail growing back.

Avatar f tn my boyfriend and I have been dating for five months. Yeah sure we fool around. Well one night, he is fingering my vagina and he accidently cuts the outside with his nail. Day later I started my period. This wasn't an issue until a few days ago when I was changing a tampon and the place here he cut me started stinging really bad. I necked it out and even showed my mom. There is a cut with little bumps around it. It itches so badly.
Avatar m tn 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.

She has had IV antibiotics twice as well as antibiotic and antifungal pills, and it was non-responsive to the drugs. Tested negative for MRSA. Finger hurts and is pinkish-red. It is dry with no discharge.
Avatar f tn I looked at my finger right away and it didn’t look like it was on my finger or underneath my fingernail. I immediately grabbed hand sanitizer out of my purse and wiped my hands off. I also have short fingernails which I bite (I KNOW ITS BAD) and since my hands are so dry, my cuticles have little cuts on them... lastly, I slammed my finger into a car door and am missing my fingernail... could I be exposed to HIV or am I being a worry wart?

Avatar f tn Cut off the loose nail portion close to the skin without cutting into the skin. A pair of fingernail nippers or fingernail scissors work best. Then brush on pure tea tree oil a couple of times a day.

Avatar m tn Handjobs are the safest sexual activity because you cannot get infected that way. Even if she had blood on her fingernail it's still no risk. HIV can only infect inside the body, such as with unprotected anal or vaginal sex or by sharing IV drug needles with infected users.

Avatar f tn I accidently touched it with my wound. My wound was a injury isnide my fingernail and the blood did not touch inside of it. This student to me looks like he has HIV. He does poor in school and always look sleepy. He does not attend any school services such as going to the nurse, etc. About 1 month after touching his blood I got a fever. Just a fever for 4-6 days I believe. Do I have HIV?
Avatar n tn (I cut my nails two days before this incident and cut them too short and I can see a tiny amount of blood under my fingernail today, a day after the incident) I was fingering a girl and I noticed that my finger started stinging and I realized that I cut my nails too short and i did have a wound under the nail. If this girl was HIV+ is there a chance that I mightve been infected?
