What kind of skin infection do I have - pictures included?
This started about 3-4 weeks ago. As you can see in the first few photos, the issue is only a handful of ulcers that were painful when defecating. I cleansed the area frequently with benzalkonium Cl and lidocaine HCl, and then dressed the affect3ed area with triple antibiotic ointment.
I figured it was a fistula that had abscessed, as I have history of hemorrhoids and other fistula. When I was finally able to get access to a hand mirror, I saw what is portrayed by the second pics in the set. Discharge was light, but apparently purulent; bad odor was not present. I went to the local ER, where I had a CBC,a white cell count, and tests for bacteria in my bloodstream. I was told I had only a few extra white cells, so it pretty much couldn't be an abscess. They gave me a powerful antibiotic (Clindamycin) and made me an appointment the next day for a good surgeon. The surgeon said it was fungal and told me to stop the antibiotic and to use a sitz bath, witch hazel, and an anti-fungal powder (Nystop).
Turns out I'm one of those lucky 1 in 1000 who get side effects. I cannot describe the burning sensation, it was so incredibly strong. It was second only to my kidney stones in pain intensity, and despite nearly drowning my wound with the cleanser, it still took 4-6 before I could get any meaningful pain release.
I went back to using the antibiotic, figuring why not and it could only help, not hurt. Pus expression, which was horrible piles of gooey greenish crud (after using the anti-fungal overnight, I awoke to find half a TABLESPOON of pus that needed cleaning). The greenish/yellowish stuff on the wound seems to largely be lymph, perhaps dead bacteria, and a lot of dead white cells, sort of soaked up like a sponge on bits of excoriated skin that is sloughing off (leaving raw red dermis underneath) The borders show raised pustules as well as swelling and tenderness; I am using NSAIDs, my opioid pain killer, and anti-histamines to keep the (very uncomfortable) swelling to a minimum. Standing on my head helped a good bit, too.
So, anyone ever seen anything like this? What is it treated with?
I have dermatigraphic urticaria and a minor hydro urticaria and when my symptoms showed up at the age of 3 my dermatologist said i was born with it, so it is probably hereditary even if ur parents dont have it. many people have dermatigraphic urticaria, but it is just called "sensitive skin" in most cases. in stronger cases its called "skin writing"
In a majority of cases, rashes in the shape of circles of varying size are symptoms of ringworm. These circles are typically a light to dark pink, occasionally a darker red. A good treatment of ringworm would be a cream, brand name of Lamasil. Of course, Lamasil should be used as directed in the instructions and indications.
Bulls eye shaped redness (a circle within a circle) could be a sign of Lymes Disease. Check with your health care provider.
Bystolic is a high blood pressure drug. Please tell me you're using it by prescription because blood pressure medicine can kill you if you're taking it when you don't need it.
Anyway...back to the question. Rashes are one of the "SEVERE" side effects of Bystolic--a side effect that if you get it, the manufacturer wants you to stop taking the medicine and see your doctor right away. Specifically, it's an allergic reaction to the medication. I can't find anything about Bystolic's half-life, but it's probably about 24 hours.
I can think of another reason to get off this drug: at $75 a month (if you order it from a Canadian pharmacy), the price is outrageous. This stuff is SO outrageously priced they give you a free bonus when you order it--four doses of Viagra. I guess they figure if you're getting s*****d by the drug company, you may as well enjoy it.
Can sanding wood cause skin irritation?
Yes. Some people are sensitive to resins from some woods. It is not common but it is possible.
ANS 2 -Yes, it can, - Red Cedar is particularly bad for this.
This can very irritating. Try to apply some ice on it or some natural oil that. Hope this will work.
What would cause a 12 year old female to get a rash that itches all over her body?
It could be numerous reasons.
-Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac
-Measles
-Chicken Pox
There are just too many possible causes.
Symptoms-
-Fever?
-Chills?
-Aches?
But know this- a rash is an allergic reaction. It could be from topical chemicals (Poison Ivy, sanitizers, ect.), sickness (measles, chicken pox, ect.) or from inhaled or ingested toxins (pollen, some foods, ect.).
First thing I would try though is some Benedryl or allergy medicine. Follow the instructions on the box or bottle.
If that doesn't work, go talk to a doctor as soon as possible.
Don't think that measles and chicken pox are a young childhood disease. People can contract these diseases at any time. I, myself, had the measles three years in a row at the ages of 23, 24, 25.
I have had some frozen off by the Dr. and even they hit areas around the wart. Treat the skin the same as the other area. No harm will be done. Put a little neosporin on it if it stings. Wishing warts away can sometimes work, but it takes awhile.
Answer
if its peeling then moisturise it. if you still have the wart then try eating an orange every day, it may go away - you'd be suprised how quickly they can disappear naturally. Problem with freezing them is that you have no immunity and are quite likely to get another, plus it can be very painful.
Can animal skin or fur give you a rash?
Depends on the animal, but yes, it could, if you were allergic to that animal, or if the animal's skin produced a certain chemical. We can severely hurt butterflies if we touch them with our fingers, as our oils are bad for their wings. So yes.
Can dandelions cause allergic reactions?
Yes , dandelions can cause an allergic reaction , but not for everybody
Nystatin is for a yeast infection (NOT sexually transmitted) but this does not usually cause little bumps. I suggest you go back to the doctor.
Can you get a rash from condoms or lube?
Yup latex alergy is most common - you can try latex free alternatives
As silly as this sounds it may simply be muscle strain or a pulled muscle. See your pharmacist for advise and to have your arm checked over to rule out anything more serious.
Cracked feet can be from anything, the sun, the shoes you wear, the kind of skin you have.
