Avatar m tn Hi-I used a (used) safety razor at a golf course and cut myself. 10 Days later I had throbbing voluntary muscles throughout my body and a sinus issues. The sinus issue cleard up in two weeks, but the throbbing eased into a dull ache-particularly in my right biceps that I've had for 6 months, I was tested thoroughly for HVC (multiple antibody, PCR Qual) and HVB. All negative. My hepatologist has referred me to a neurologist saying the razor was just a coincidence.
Avatar m tn something that looks like someone poked him with a needle so it not the typical cut a razor blade would cause but a poke kind of. anyway, had the wife clean his lip really well and with alcohol etc.... common sense says he is fine as it wasnt something major . also i do clean my razor pretty ok after shaving but a worry is a worry and i cant help it. called his pediatritionist clinic today and asked i can come in to make sure his antibodies are good from back when he completed the vaccine..
Avatar f tn For transmission, plenty of infectious fluid is needed to be exchanged inside the body, for which, a safety razor does not qualify. However, for personal hygiene, and to prevent other contageous infections, it is always better to avoid anybody else's kits. You may use a different brand having different color to eliminate the risk of picking up the wrong razor inadvertently.
Avatar m tn I think that if you are that concerned about the chances that you may catch HCV then you should talk to your friend about your fears. Being honest about our care/responsibility in living around other 's and their safety when we have a disease is important. More than likely you should not be able to get hep C unless it is blood to blood . I gave birth to my children and did not know I had HCV and neither have contracted HCV or the father in the 30 years of having it.
Avatar f tn You are most likely having an allergic reaction to whatever shaving cream or lotion you are applying to your legs, assuming you are using a safety razor. It is also possible that you do have extra-sensitive skin and the skin response is to mechanical irritation from the shaving device you are using. You might want to switch to a “non-allergenic” shaving cream/lotion product. On the mechanical side be sure to avoid using any razor that is not ultra-sharp.
Avatar n tn m just being my usual paranoid self but this is really eating me up alive. I had forgotten my shaving razor when I stayed at a hotel over 3 weekends ago. The hotel staff brought over a disposable one upon my request. Although not packaged (or sealed), the razor appeared to be new and I went ahead used it. I cut very easily when shaving and there was definitely blood from me in this instance.
Avatar m tn Hi, I've been reading a lot online but cannot find anything closely related to the problem I'm experience.. I'm really hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on. Almost every time after I have (unprotected) sex with my girfriend, I get small red bumps (~20-30) on my penis--mostly along the front and sides and lower foreskin-- as well as sometimes a few near my stomach and pubic hair. This has happened maybe 10 times.
Avatar f tn Turns out it was razor bumps but since i was picking at them n tryin to pop them i got them infected so they gave me some antibiotic but i did get some blood drawn for safety reasons n will know the results on those by next week
Avatar f tn If she was sprayed with AirWick air freshener the Material Safety Data Sheet says to 'immediately remove any contact lenses and flush the eye with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, see a doctor.' If her eye is still irritated (red, itchy, swollen, painful) or looks different AT ALL from how it normally appears, I'd get to the eye doctor right away.
Avatar m tn The fact remains that despite intensive research and the vigilance of many health care providers taking care of literally millions of persons with and at risk for HIV, there are NO instances in which HIV has clearly been transmitted through oral sex. I repeat, none. And this is the case despite that fact that there are many, many persons who only practice oral sex with new or infected partners. The presence of oral sores, gum disease, cavities, etc does not change this fact.

1932244 tn?1323292210 For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar m tn A razor blade, not an electric razor within an hour prior? Yes, that ought to greatly up the risk from oral as a safety blade may have made one or more minute nicks in your skin (not enough to hurt or visibly bleed, but, leaving enough wounding for infected saliva to breach the skin barrier). Eight weeks does sound long enough though (especially if that's the recommended period).
Avatar f tn Ok my 4 year old is stealing everything in sight dispite lectures time out and loss of toys over this. The 18 month old climbs beautifully but isn't quite walking yet. This culminated in the older boy stealing daddy's razor today during bath time and shaving his face chest and butt defore I catch on because I go in to tell him he hastoo much water.
Avatar f tn See an Eye MD every year maybe 2 a comprehensive ophthalmologist and an retina surgeon Eye MD. Always think eye protection and safety. Do not smoke or drink a lot of alcohol. Eat a good diet and maintain a healthy weight. Exercise in moderation. Have a family physician that you also see at least yearly.
Avatar n tn Razors are somewhat a needle-like object, and it is inevitable that during shaving blood will get onto the razor. Someone who shaves, using a used razor (of someone who is HIV positive), may get cuts while they are shaving that may possibly allow the virus a way to enter into the body. It's probably unlikely, in the first place, that the virus would even survive on a razor... but there is a bit of risk, so why even have that risk when it can be completely avoided?
Avatar m tn appx 11 weeks ago I had a few drinks and used a used safety razor in the shower at a massage parlor (all women giving massages). I cut my neck shaving. At 8 days my biceps and triceps began aging-my thighs slightly too. My sinuses became inflamed and cleared up in abt three weeks. My muscles have improved but now at 10 weeks still are a bit weak. . I have had a temperature slighly below normal (98.0) for a while now. I had an HIV rapit test @ 6.5 and again at 9 weeks. Both were negative.
Avatar n tn Today I went to a barber shop, were this incredibly rough guy gave me a painful haircut and shaved me with a serious of machines including razors. I didn't notice if he used a new razor. I am scared now because of that because I have a small cut and a line of irritation. I would hate having my life ruined because if that douche. He used a shaving machine too. I dont know if my skin alteration was from the shaving machine or the razor.
Avatar n tn Like all other items of personal use like tooth brush, safety razor and beard trimmer, I would limit the use of MY sex toys (If I ever intended to use any) to myself only. Although the risk is very negligible as rightly pointed out by alienshadow, but why to that that even?
Avatar f tn I would hate to think it would because they would rather us do round after round, with no safety net...
Avatar m tn dr Vinod---my weight is around 180--I take 2 75mg a day to help with the pain and swelling in my knees---seems to help--had the left one scoped in august but it still swells up--not much cartilage left in either knee----thanks for your input
Avatar f tn I had this problem last summer before I found out I was expecting. I promise I feel your pain. I had em like 4 different times. 2 under one, 2 under the other. I had to stop shaving so often. & make sure your razor is clean. I also use witch hazel under my arms after I shave before I put on deoderant. If you need relief, use a hot towel to bring it to a head. Then burn tha tip of a safety pin or a needle and stick it in that middle. You will need assistance because it hurts like hell.

Avatar n tn have a concern about a non-healing wound that my mother has. She is 75 yrs. old, very active, and in good health. Five months ago she cut her leg shaving and it has yet to heal. She never told me until 2 months after the cut because she was in a lot of pain. I took her right to the dr. and we were sent to a wound specialist. They did a culture and got her on antibiotics. She has been going there for treatment every week for 3 months and it's not healed.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm 7Weeks along, and I'm a registered nurse in home care. A client I see often has 6 dogs, all of different breeds a cat, and a bunch of birds. The house is unclean. There is often dog feces and urine on the floor and the birds are allowed to fly around and poop where they please. My concern is that being in this house may be unsafe for me and my child. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn throw out the razor, don't take a chance! I threw my razor out and my toothbrush.
Avatar m tn Hi if you are going to shave your Head , you must use the Clippers first then shave with a Razor for a good result , Take care ,
121828 tn?1333464491 ) you can shave or wax or whatever, but on c-day they are going to check and shave whatever they feel needs to be removed. With a fresh sharp safety razor no less, and yes, I got nicked twice the second time around! So much for safety. Looking back, I think a nice waxing would be better at the location of the c-section plus an inch or two above and below just for the tape and the bandaging. Tape and hair....not a good combination ... OUCH!
Avatar m tn when i was done with my shower i saw my friends disposable razorblade she uses in one of those razor holder tray things and her shaving cream just out in the open right next to where i was showering. I asked her about it and she said she shaved her legs when she used the shower right before me. now im worried because my erect penis could have touched the razor with blood and/or the shaving cream container that blood got in/on.
