The physician there didnt mention much but suggested that I have gallbladder viral infection. No gallstones appear.
My question is: Could I have any type of Hepatitis related to Gallbladder??
I've had a passing fever last week for one day. I also have very dark urine, all day long fatigue and a yellow skin for 2 days.
Thank you.
There is a species that is only found in subcutaneous tissues or skin. So, for diagnosis, skin snips [type of skin biopsy) must be taken (your ID physician should be able to perform this and then tell the laboratory how to stain and analyze the skin specimen).
3. Reactive Arthritis - post-infectious (viral, bacterial, parasitic) arthritis -- or auto-immune (as you have suggested in your postings).
In that case, you must see an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) as soon as possible to make sure there is no viral infection of your eye.
Impetigo, a bacterial infection, usually caused by Staph aureus. This infection is highly contagious and needs to be treated with antibiotics.
And there are many others. I recommend a consultation with a dermatologist as soon as possible to determine the cause of your rash.

Hello,
From the symptoms it looks like an infection, chances of viral infection causing a viral rash the highest. Other possibility of such a rash is a bacterial infection like folliculitis or an allergic reaction. To confirm the diagnosis, you need to get an evaluation done from his pediatrician.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Hello,
Since these are not rashes but itchy bumps, so it does not sound like eczema. Insect bite and viral infection are important possibilities but the diagnosis needs to be confirmed by getting a biopsy skin done.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
It may also be complicated by superficial skin infection with yeast or bacteria. Redness and breaks in the skin may be observed. The area may also ooze or be sore or itchy. A bacterial, fungal, or viral infection may develop at the site of broken skin due to the inflammation. Regularly cleanse the affected area gently with mild soap substitutes and keep the areas dry and exposed to the air. If not, absorbent cotton or fabric, as well as absorbent powders, may help.
Urticaria (allergy ) is usually triggered by allergens, such as drugs, foods, insect bites, inhaled substances, in response to sunlight, cold, heat, stress, exercise, or a viral infection. Other common allergens are pollen, mold, dust, pet dander, or cosmetics. Since you experienced an itch, just go over these possibilities in your mind. Something may strike you. In many cases, hives clear up themselves and don’t require diagnosis or treatment.
When I finally went to the doctor, they did a lot of tests -- for melanoma, viral infection, bacterial infection, etc. -- and they all came back negative. They were running out of ideas and it was getting worse, so they took a biopsy of the diseased skin. It was a very simple procedure. They sent the biopsy to a lab and the lab confirmed that it was a fungal infection (I know, ew).
Hi
I do not think so since a staphylococcal infection usually affects the skin and in cases wherein the infection follows surgery , it is the skin or the surgical site which is affected. As for nerve damage, viral infections wherein the organisms usually stay dormant within the nerve, may more likely cause nerve related symptoms. Nerve damage occurs due to lack of blood supply which may be secondary to a blood clot, inflammation or spasms caused by an infection or vascular problems eg stroke.
If you temperature keeps fluctuating, going up and down, you may have an infection which may be a bacterial or a viral one. It is still worth making an appointment to see your doctor to check you out. If the doctor feels it is a bacterial infection, you will get prescribed with an antibiotic.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
He has lost 12 pounds, has been in and out of the hospital and each time is diagnosed with a viral infection. I was curious what your thoughts are in regards to the symptoms he has been experiencing. It all started after a work out at the gym. He was driving home and felt as if he was going to pass out. The drive home took 45 minutes when it should have only took 20. He said he kept getting lost.

Hi
This may be a viral infection. Is there any associated eye redness, sore throat, or enlarged lymph nodes on the neck?
Some viral exanthems or rash may present as reddish patches and may be slightly elevated and rough to the touch. Observe your child's symptoms. Measles, varicella and other viruses like parvovirus may present with a rash. If fever progresses and in the presence of eye redness, sore throat and swollen nodes, bring her to a doctor for evaluation.
Hello,
The most important possibility that can present with such symptoms is hands,foot and mouth disease. It is a viral disease which causes itchy blisters on the hands,foot,mouth and legs. It is an infection that is usually caused by a virus called the coxsackie A virus. It usually affects children under 10 years of age and often starts with a feeling of being unwell for a day or so.Then there is fever and typical blisters like rash on hands,foot and inside mouth.
Let me try to get an answer by saying this. I don't exactly understand how skin heals or repair. But since using this cream, the peeled holes, or circles have seem less noticeable because its almost as if, the exposed area are becoming my first layer of skin again. Which seemed weird to be because, I always assumed, that my hands would heal in such that the circles would stop growing in size, and eventually close up.
Herpes simplex is most easily transmitted by direct contact with a lesion or the body fluid of an infected individual. Transmission may also occur through skin-to-skin contact during periods of asymptomatic shedding. Moreover sometimes the virus sits dormant in the nerves and hence you cannot know when you contacted the infection. It will be best to get the diagnosis confirmed by investigations which I have mentioned.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Since it is blisters, so viral infection like herpes are more likely a possibility for which I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist.

For the past several years my skin on my extremities has itched. My skin doesn't appear dry. Also, I have developed a burning, itchy and sometimes red skin under my arms, breasts, and groin. These areas have an unpleasant odor and are often sticky. I must bath every day to keep the burning to a reasonable level. I wonder if these might have something to do with the meds I am taking for high blood pressure.
