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 m tn One changed the blade on the razor and the other one used it to shave my beard. I got two very tiny cuts on my face and a little bit of blood came out? I suspect that he might have used the wrong razor containing the used blade? So what are the chances of contracting hiv presumed that there might be some blood on it. On wiki answers it is written that around 15% of people infected with hiv are those who get it from saloon.
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 f tn I had a baby 3 months ago and my skin is all out of wack. When I shave, I now get bumps all over my legs. I've changed razor blades, skin lotions, shaving lotions, soap, detergeant and dryer sheets. Also, if I exercise or shower, I get the same bumps on my body. I've gone to see a Dermotologists (who gave me **** medication), I also went to see a Specialists in Immunology and he recommended Alavert and nothing. He told me if could be a Thyroid problem or hormonal.
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 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 Can it be transmitted from an object like a razor contacted with infected blood but there is not a visible blood on it? Thanks for your replies in advance.
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 partner had bumps on his lower abdomen and thigh, and he assured me that they were just razor bumps. However, these bumps have been here for about one month and they have not disappeared. They eventually appeared on his balls and shaft. The doctor told him it was molluscum. We have had sex a few time while the bumps were there, but we used a condom each time. I also gave him oral sex without a condom. What are the chances I will get these bumps on my face? on my lips? in my mouth?
Avatar n tn If you are not sure about the safety of sexual activity, maybe it would be a good idea not to engage in sex until you are knowledgeable enough about sexually transmitted diseases that you can protect yourself. Some of these diseases can be deadly. Good times come and go. Your health, or lack of it, can be enduring. Stay healthy!
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 n tn you MUST confirm the authenticity of any article before doing such a drastic measure in my opinion. The FDA in the US recently has changed the classification safety of Amalgam to a higher level but I really would get ten opinions before I do this. Having a few removed myself because they were loose, etc., I ended up with 2 root canals and crowns --- unless you are certain there is harm, get opinions to base your opinions on in my opinion.
Avatar f tn s or stones or trauma), and recent trial meds and so, following Achems razor I am deducing the probable cause. My cat scan is tomorrow and should have results Tues. I do realize it may be nothing at all or it may spur me to treat my hep now...
Avatar m tn Can hiv survive in blade. Further it is written in wiki answers that 15% of cases of hiv is not known from any specific reason and there is a person in the body.com who has said that due to use of tooth brush he caught hiv. further I got a shave didnt rem he used a new blade as I saw him taking a new blade but didnt saw him putting that blade on the razor.
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 f tn But in your line of work any substance which you may be exposed to whether be it airborn or by proxy there should be M.S.D.S. (Material Safety Data Sheets) available. chromated copper arsenate (used sometimes as a wood treatment) exposure/ingestion for example can cause symptoms like you've described.
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 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?
Avatar m tn Getting a haircut where the razor blade was not changed and my neck was cut during the haircut? It was in New York where I had the haircut, and the haircut would have been at least 7 minutes after the person before me had there neck shaved with the razor. Would like to no what the likelyhood of getting HIV this way. Exposure 4: I have been having electrolysis since August 2009? Is this a risk? as the places I have gone to appear to be quiet clean.
Avatar m tn Hi, Ingrown hair is a condition where the hair curls back or grows sideways into the skin. It may or may not be accompanied by an infection of the hair follicle (folliculitis) or "razor bumps" (Pseudofolliculitis barbae). Anything which causes the hair to be broken off short with a sharp tip can cause ingrown hair. Shaving is the leading cause. The embedded hair causes a localized inflammation (sometimes painful) response in the skin.
Avatar f tn //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatographic_urticaria and http://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic446.htm You should read this and let us know if you need any further information. Regards.
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 f tn First with regards to your 2008 response to Acne Vulgaris, can the 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide facial cleanser, beta hydroxy acid, or the Salicylic acid be use on my legs? I have these symptoms on the tops of my thighs and they are starting to cause mild pain when I get "goose bumps" in the O.R. at work.
Avatar m tn Professional waxing is good and its not that expensive. Or if your waxing already and it gives you ingrowns; shave with a razor in the direction of the hair growth.
