Avatar m tn If I need part of my fingernail removed due to ingrown fingernai, will a doctor use novacaine. The podiatrist did do that when I needed an ingrown toenail removed. Will a dermatologist do the same?
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 no reason to think this is a std. if you think it's more than an ingrown fingernail, see your provider for a proper exam.

Avatar n tn As it progressed, she squirted fluid all over my hand, which at the time had an ingrown fingernail that was approximately 90% healed. I say 90% because visual appearance looked as if it was all healed, but by using much force, I was able to make a small amount of puss bead up. Minutes later I washed my hands with soap and water. Am I at risk for contracting HIV? Is a test warranted?
Avatar n tn It could be something as simple as a sebaceous cyst, an infected, ingrown hair follicle, a collosal zit or perhaps a growth of some sort. Either way, you need to visit with your physician. A large cyst or boil, can be removed or lanced to relieve the pressure. Your doctor may also elect to put you on antibiotics to reduce the chance of a staph or other dangerous infection. If it is a growth of some sort, then it needs to be removed and biopsied to check for malignancy.
Avatar f tn For about 6 weeks I've had a lump on my labia majora about half the size of a fingernail. It's itchy and sometimes painful like a pimple. It is completely smooth and the tissue around it isn't red or anything. Doesn't look like a wart or a sore at all. It hasn't changed I'm thinking it's just an ingrown hair that is out of control. I have only one partner with no STD history and I have no history of STDs.
Avatar n tn well i heard that if you use alot of cream down there it makes it more possible for outbreaks to occur.. and im pretty sure i have a bikini line infection where the hairs along my bikini line become ingrown and I just dont know what is safe to use down there an what isnt. But I'd also like to know if there IS a cream treatment for HSV 2 that could prevent outbreaks.
Avatar m tn i broke my fingernail about 2 weeks ago down underneath the skin in the middle underneath the nail, and it has finally grown back above the skin under the nail. but now where my cuticle is only one one side of the finger has turned into like a blood blister looking thing. its reddish/purplish and really small, probably smaller than the backside of a bic pen. i popped it thinking it was a blister but nothing came out it just looked like red flesh underneath with no puss or anything.
Avatar n tn I have found a red bump in my pubis region about the size of a fingernail. It does not hurt but it is a hard, raised bump. It has a darker spot in the middle. Upon inspection, it seemed to get a bit angrier and swelled up a bit. I haven't had sexual contact with anyone in four years and have never noticed any kind of outbreak before. Does this sound like herpes? Could I have had it all along without noticing?
Avatar n tn Thought it was an ingrown toenail. Can lift both sides of nail and slide fingernail under. Cannot see nail digging in. Pain is halfway down side of nail on both sides. There was some tenderness under center of nail last week but is dissipating. No discoloration. Have stubbed toe several times in last few weeks. Tried cotton under nail edges, wouldn't stay. Used dental floss under edges and not really doing anything.
1833444 tn?1325557062 My are brittle and cracking. One tonenail has nasty fungus and split to the bed n bleeding. I have to wear little slip ons n soft boots, it's so painful. Dr said it's jus part of treatment. Let us know what the Dr says. Missing my heels..
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 f tn Today the bump is still there and is swollen and now it is sore. Now it looks sort of raw (could have been my fingernail) and slightly yellow in color and there is red like stained blood or blood under the skin where it came out. I'm wondering if this is herpes. Like I said it did not hurt before I did all this and it was there for 5 days and didn't change until I messed with it. It did not look like a clear fluid filled blister but I know cases are different.
Avatar f tn If so it could easily be an ingrown hair. all you have to do it pop it like a zit (which is VERY PAINFUL and I cant do it) or just wait it out ...
Avatar f tn Is fingernails determine who the father is?
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn agter 1 month of treatment virus is not detectable, i have 2 more month left of treatment and i changed my shaving razor and all the things of hygiene. is it needed to chane after shaving balsam too? as it may have had blood contact and virus survived in it?!
Avatar n tn My finger tip is swollen, red, tender, and a bit discolored. Could it be a ingrown nail or a infection? If so can it be treated at home? If so what should I do? Thank you in advance.
2068019 tn?1331248132 I know that it is not an ingrown hair because i have had those before and this is very different. I just noticed it today and it is about the size of a pea. Its not on the surface of the skin but its underneath it. It doesnt have any pink/redish tint to it and you cant pop it because it is underneath the skin. Also, you cannot notice it just by looking, only if you touch it. I can move it around kind of like a ball. How can this thing come up so suddenly? And what is it? What do I do?
Avatar m tn ok maybe i explained it wrong it looks like a sore that scabed over but dont ever rember a sore being there but it the size of a fingernail or lil smaller than a dime on the shaft of my penis where the hair is kinda smooth to the skin but darker im a brown skinned man please help ...
Avatar m tn I frequently get ingrown hairs on the corner of lip area and chin which create little pimples. I am currently taking benzaclin and erythromycin gel at night and Evoclin foam in the day. I also tweeze and wax the hairs. I was wondering if tretinoin cream would help prevent ingrown hairs due to increased epithelial cell turnover? I know laser treatment would be most beneficial but cannot afford it at the moment.
Avatar f tn You need to see an ophthalmologist tomorrow. Fingernail scratches can transmit bacterial from under the nails and often require antibiotic eyedrops. The foreign body sensation likely comes from the cornea being scratched. Home treatment would be limited to using artificial tears or lubricating ointments.
