Can you get herpes viral infection on your skin?

Childhood skin rash

Can you get herpes viral infection on your skin?
absolutely, even your eyes can be infected with herpes (this can happen to a child passing through the birth canal). Also you can have a herpes infection in your mouth and spread it to a partner through kissing or oral sex. If you think you have one on your skin you should see your doctor, but be aware there are different kinds of herpes some of them are more serious than others.
Reply:Ever heard of a cold sore or shingles.
Reply:Yes. A cold sore (usually on your lips) is a form of herpes. A skin rash could also be ringworm or scabies. Check with a doctor
Reply:ohh yes
Reply:you can get it in your eyes.

Why do canary get infection on their skin?

I have a canary that has a infection for a long time and i want to know how to heal it. please help me

Why do canary get infection on their skin?
Bring it to a vet.


They will test what kind of infection and give you some thing for it.
Reply:Take the poor bird to an avian veterinarian.
Reply:Unless you specify in more details as to what kind of infection this poor bird has, there is nothing I can do to help! Please take this bird to a veterinarian so it can be seen and treated properly.
Reply:My first bit of advice is to take it to an Avian vet. They are the only ones who can know for sure what the infection is and how to cure it. Anything you hear otherwise is just a best guess.





On that note...





Aloe Vera works well for skin irritations on just about every animal, even birds. Stick some in a squirt bottle and spray her down. It won't hurt if they ingest any either.


I am 4 months pregnant and I had a urinary track infection and skin allergies. The doctor gave me cefalixin.?

for instant relief of a uti, take cranberry pills, you can buy them from walmart in vitamin dept, and there is this stuff called azo.... the regular formula not cranberry, it is a tiny pill that turns your pee bright orange but takes the pressure away within 20 minutes.... So:


Azo.... original formula


Cranberry pills..... take 3 at least!

I took bactrim for an ear infection and on 11th day developed a skin rash all over. how long does it last?

HELP! My doctor perscribed me Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole) for a whole month %26amp; Cipro drops for a continuing ear infection. I was on the medication for 10 days ( 2 tablets a day for 10 days and the rest 1) and on the 11th day (morning) my lower back (kidney region) started to feel sore. That afternoon I developed small red rashes around my elbows ( i sometimes get hives or have sensitive skin and assumed it would go away) . however throughout the day red spots developed on my legs. The next morning and afternoon some of them grew and there were other red rashes and bumps all over my legs and arms and some on my torso. I went to my doctor that afternoon (12th day) she told me to stop with my medication. She gave me a shot and then perscribed methopredinisolone.The red/pink rashes/bumps are all over the place and some look like popped capillaries. These don't itch. But I was wondering how long does this rash last for? And does it or will it scar my body? Any advice would be great.

Anytime you are taking a medication, especially an antibiotic, stop taking it and call your doctor AT ONCE if you have hives, a rash, swelling of the face, difficulty breathing or any other allergic symptom. It's probably the Bactrim, but people do become allergic to Cipro, so you should not take either one again unless a doctor desensitizes you. Taking whatever you are allergic to again could produce a much worse reaction, even death. You should wear a medic alert bracelet as well.





An allergic rash should not leave scars unless you get an area of it infected by scratching. You may see some skin peeling like from a bad sunburn from a severe allergic rash, but normally nothing permanent. Signs of the rash can last for many weeks, but eventually they should go away entirely. If anything starts looking worse, be certain to tell your doctor.





Bactrim contains the sulfa drug you mentioned, sulfamethoxazole, and another drug, trimethoprim. If you do not drink enough liquids when taking a sulfa drug, crystals can form which may irritate or damage the kidneys. That could explain the back pain, but ask your doctor about this.





Bactrim allergies are very common. My entire family is allergic to sulfa drugs and one of my children had a life-threatening Stevens-Johnson Syndrome reaction to it after taking it safely for many years.





Just remember that you don't "outgrow" allergies and another reaction is always possible and may be much worse.
Reply:Go to the doctor! You may be having an allergic reaction to the medication. Or who knows?! Just call your doctor ASAP!
Reply:It should not take too long or cause scaring....but this depends on how hard did you scratch? If you scratched in a crazy state of itching and broke open the skin and made the skin bleed and did all sorts of skin damage, then it would be like you skinned your knee and that damage, as you probably remember, took about 2 weeks if you do not pick the scabs too much. Scarring would be caused if this raw tissue becomes infected. So if you have raw tissue, keep it very clean with soap and water, maybe put some bacitracin on it and cover with bandaides or clean dressings that you buy in a drug store. Keep your dirty fingers off it and there should be no scars. If you did not ever break the skin, all should be well in a couple of days. Your can always call your doctor's nurse for advice if you stay worried. Ice causes the skin to itch a lot less. Rub the itch with an ice cube...no more than 15-20 minutes. If you bled under the skin it is a bruise and the colors will go like any other bruise..slowly and changing colors as each part of the blood is reabsorbed....probably not longer that 2 weeks...no scaring.


How do youtreat a boil [infection] on skin [neck]?

my brother used to suffer with these, and if he got one, he would get more, we used to put a ointment called magnaplasm on it to draw out the infection and he used to take sarsparella tablets (you can get them from health shops) to stop reinfection through his blood/tissue.


This is an old bush remedy, I dont know if it will work for you, but it certainly worked for my brother.





Good luck

Reply:I believe that you may have a condition called Hidradenitis Supprativa. It is a condition of re-occurring boils/ cysts/abscesses , that are often misdiagnosed as ingrown hairs, herpes, being unclean and folliculitis. This is a newly diagnosed skin condition , but there is a lot of info out there.


Here is a link :


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidradeniti...


If this sounds like it might be you, READ it, PRINT it out, and TAKE it to your DOC.


Its better to try to start treatment soon, it can spread over the body if left untreated. These boils can become quite large and painful. Sometimes even lasting for weeks or months , do not attempt to POP them they can then tunnel under your skin and spread all over the body. Most common areas are armpits, groin, binkni line, inner legs, and intimate places and basically anywhere that sweats and rub against clothing. Stress is a big inducer.





There is some support groups at MSN





(http://groups.msn.com/HidradenitisSuppor...





and yahoo, and I am open for questions!


I have had this for 8 years, I was misdiagnosed for a LONG time, It was very embarrassing, painful and scary. I am just trying to help out so you don’t have to wait as long as I did.


Can a oral infection cause skin burning?

yes


if you have candidiasis albicans (yeast) in your mouth and you get it on your skin you can get yeast infection of the skin

Can a oral infection cause skin burning?
no, because the oral infection is inside your mouth while skin burning is outside your body
Reply:No. Unless it is outside the mouth over the lips when that area alone may have buning sensation.
