Avatar m tn along with worrying about catching something fom a female i barely know,i have noticed that my but itches sometimes and around my testicle area. tehre arent any strange bumps or anything but two weeks ago I did shave with a gillette razor in tose areas(genital and butt). maybe thats what causing the itching??? but that was two weeks ago. should i be concerned at all about stds if i use condoms and shower regularly afterward?
4093350 tn?1358096154 Make sure it doesn't bleed. If blood gets on ur panties change them. Be aware if going pee changes. Such as burning or itching. Should be fine. I bought myself an electric razor Luke ny hub uses on his beard. Its not all gone but makes ne feel better when I don't feel like using a razor. On that note... what razor and cream do y'all use? I've been using my hubs Gillette 5blade. (No longer his) with barbosol (sp). I prefer foam.
427801 tn?1203844562 Ive used different razors from different companies, but they were all big names...Mach 3 Turbo, Gillette Fusion (current), etc. I havent really researched razors made with different materials yet. Is this even a possible issue? What else could be going on?
Avatar m tn While he was staying at my place, one day he used my Gillette Mach 3 razor in the morning without my knowledge. I work 2nd shift so in the afternoon I shaved my face using the same razor and went to the work. Later on when I returned, my uncle told me that earlier in the morning he used my razor and forgot to let me know.
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 n tn Had a rash appear in the following areas simultaneously: Rash consisted of raised goosebump like rashes that stuck around for a week, and dissipated after 2 weeks approximately. When you ran a finger over it you could feel the bumps about 20-30 of them. Did not appear to contain pus, although a few of them crusted. Was not itchy nor irritating. Location: Arm creases both sides, was more severe on my right arm crease at the elbow joint.
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 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 n tn I DO have fordyce spots and shaved my penile shaft for the first time 12 days ago (day after) and experience some razor burn along the shaft and the fordyce spots. So, my questions are: 1. Herpes first outbreaks, usually occur in the 7-10 days after exposure, and are marked by sores and intense itching, NOT low grade razor burn / itching. 2. Since I've never shaven this area before, is it normal to have some razor burn on fordyce spots?
Avatar f tn t find the skin turning green to be a normal reaction at all. Have you changed the brand or type of razor you are shaving with? Using natural products does not mean you will not have any allergy or sensitivity to an ingredient. Use a gentle soap and maybe even skip deodorant if possible for a couple of days to let your skin recuperate. Since it's getting to be fall and winter season, it's easier to give your arms a break from shaving for a day or two.
Avatar n tn This is probably a folliculitis or something since you shave. I recommend not shaving any more in the genital area until you've had this properly treated. Toss any razor or change the blade in your razor too so you aren't spreading bacteria around. follow up on this with your provider on monday.
Avatar m tn On the 13th or 14th I shaved my genital area as I usually do - first with a electric razor to shorten the hair then a Gillette razor to shave everything smooth. Within a day I had what seemed like an ingrown hair (or a couple) which wasn't unusual as I've experienced them before. I squeeze them quite a bit to release the fluid and to get it to heal but am confident I totally irritated both of them.
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 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 My concern is, earlier before meeting her I shaved my pubic hair and had some cuts on my shaft from the razor. I don’t believe the condom covered that area and for the sake of the information I’m seeking, let’s assume I entered her vagina and those cuts were not protected. Is the risk higher here vs any other protected encounter? I’ve searched the forum and other sites to see if this is an actual risk at all but couldn’t seem to find a straight answer, I would greatly appreciate some feedback!
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 f tn Yes, I did toss the razor.
148588 tn?1465778809 The proportion of patients who achieved SVR with 24 weeks of triple therapy following a lead-in phase was 56% (P = .0005 vs standard of care) vs 54% with 28 weeks of triple therapy and no lead-in treatment (P = .013 vs standard of care). Another important finding concerns the incidence and extent of anemia.
Avatar f tn In my opinion having done hundreds of ALT and SLT the newer SLT is much better and safer. It does not damage the drainage area, is less likely to cause post laser spikes, and can be repeated. We no longer do ALT (had trouble selling out old laser) and only do SLT.
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 f tn In healthy people, physical activity causes a small decrease in the number of ACh quanta released from the nerve terminal that does not impair the safety margin of neuromuscular transmission, but it is incapacitating in myasthenic patients in whom the safety margin is already reduced.
Avatar n tn Patients treated with peginterferon alpha-2b plus ribavirin had higher rates of discontinuation for safety reasons (6%vs 1%). In conclusion, a substantial percentage of patients infected with HCV genotype 1 and high viral load can achieve EVR when treated with peginterferon and ribavirin.
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 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?
