the spots are on my foreskin, and I think my girlfriend has contracted them onto her chin/lip. they don't quite fit the description of STD/STIs I've read about . I have had a mild bit of excema ( i think) on my arms in different spots for a number of years now. This infection seems similar to that but smaller spots.
I've got an skin infection of sorts. red/pink spots with dry skin. not sure of what it is :(?
eczema is not contagious.
try doctor to be on the safe side.
the longer an std goes.....the worse it is.

How to make it disappear - skin infection caused by bacteria; starts in skin roots and grows to abscess?
It happens at average once per two months and hurts a lot. starts from underneath the skin - body hair roots - grows for a week until becomes big like an enormous pimple and then softens enough to be squeezed. It is not caused by immune deficiency. it was threated with various antibiotics but didn't help.

Ear skin infection?
Ever since I pierced my ear 3 more time 2 on right and 1 one right. my right ear starting having layers of white skin that if i peel off it would come back, my left ear only has a bit. whats cause of this? would it be cureable?
Ear skin infection?
Are the pierced areas seeping fluid from the wounds?
Is there redness and/or swelling?
Did you clean the pierced areas several times daily with Hydrogen Peroxide?
Was the salon/place where you had the piercing done clean?????
Keep an eye on the progress. If you continue to have problems, I would consult a physician.

How long for a skin infection to clear?
I had a small infection of the hair folicle several weeks ago that seemed to blow up into a bigger infection. I saw a doctor and he prescribed a 7-day oral antibiotic (Keflex) and said to use OTC antibiotic ointment (Polysporin) and a thick bandage. I've been doing this and it has been a week now. The infection looks better but there is still some minor leakage that can be seen when changing the bandage.
Does these infections normally take more than a week to clear? Or would this mean that the antibiotic isn't working very well and need something stronger?
How long for a skin infection to clear?
A staph infection of the skin (which is most likely the organism) can take 7 to 14 days to clear, typically. But it depends on the severity of the infection, how big it is, and the type of staph being dealt with.
Since it seems to be responding to anti-biotics, it is probably working but it will just take another week or so. But you can ask the doctor to be sure. The oral antibiotic will most likely not clear the infection on its own. That is more as a precaution to prevent the infection from spreading deeper into the tissue. So he will probably tell you to continue the topical antibiotic for another week. If it still hasn't cleared by then, he will probably need give you a stronger topical anti-biotic

Rash? Possible Skin Infection? What do you think?
I've had it for a few days I guess. This nice little bump on the middle of my left arm that kind of looks like a pimple. The pores around it look.. like.. a little white. And theres red dots around it a bit that looks a little bit like when you break a blood vessel under your skin. It doesn't hurt at all but it itches. Actually, I itch all over now. I could guess it's dry skin but I never get dry skin. And I never started itching all over until that little bump showed up.
It's probably nothing and if it is, oh well. I just want to know what's making me itch. I don't have any bumps anywhere else. Just scratches from me.. scratching. Yeah. I thought about it being staph but I highly doubt it.
Rash? Possible Skin Infection? What do you think?
It could be scabies or another sort of parasite, or maybe just an infection. Have a doctor check it out.
AND DON'T SCRATCH IT!!!

Plain yougurt on dog skin yeast infection?
does anyone know if plain yougurt on a dog's skin yeast infection works, or at least cut down on the smell?
Plain yougurt on dog skin yeast infection?
Yogurt with active cultures CAN help a yeast infection. It is a very old, natural remedy. "Infection" does not necessarily imply *bacterial* infection. Antibiotics WILL make a yeast infection worse because it kills off the good bacteria that keep yeast infections in check - just ask any woman about yeast infections and antibiotics. However, it is likely that your dog will lick it off as soon as you put in on the affected area. You could try bathing the dog and then pouring a mixture of water and yogurt on the area. Let it sit for a while and then rinse. Make sure you use plain unsweetened yogurt because yeast feeds off of sugar and your dog will end up sticky!
I wouldn't use an over the counter remedy without first talking to your vet (even over the phone if they will help you that way) because a lot of human medications are not safe for dogs and cats.
Personally I would want to know what is going on with the dog that it has a yeast infection in the first place, which will require a visit to the vet, unless you already know. I have heard that some dogs end up with chronic yeast infections because of a food allergy. The most common food allergies in dogs are to corn or wheat products, so you may want to try switching to a grain free food.
Reply:I have never heard of this to help a yeast infection. The word here is INFECTION.
Get the dog to the vets because the only way to clear this up is with anitbiotics and the vets care.

Reply:Hi. I have a dog with the same thing. Yeast infections are hard to treat. I have started to see some improvements in my dog giving her acidiphilus capsules, changing her food to a high quality one and bathing her once or twice a week with Selsun Blue (an anti fungal shampoo).
Acidiphilus can be found in a vitamin store or health food store. I use the kind with 6 million units (says on the bottle). Acidiphilus adds the good bacteria into the digestive tract to combat the yeast.
I did try yogurt, but the amount of the good stuff was not enough to make a difference. Email me if you need anymore info.
PS: Antibiotics did not help my dog after 5 courses. She would appear OK and then the yeast would come back every time. Antibitoics actually kill the good bacteria needed to combat yeast. In short, the hundreds of dollars I spent on vets did nothing.
Reply:Never heard that one before. The dog would probably lick it all off too, unless you had one of those collars. I'm sure it wouldn't do any harm other than your dog may be sticky.
Reply:No and you're likely to end up with a dog that is fly blown as well. Take the dog to the vet for treatment
Fungal (also known as yeast) infections are generally caused by mange mite on dogs. There could be an underlying liver or thyroid problem at play too.
It will nearly always cost more in the long run if you try to treat things yourself, it's better to go to the vet in the first instance. You could just make the condition worse.
I don't get it, if the ASPCA come out and you haven't had a pet to the vet when there's obviously something wrong, you can be charged, you're up poop creek without a paddle!
Reply:I have never heard of yogurt before. My dog also suffers from this. Have spent tons of money at vets for antibiotics, but it always comes back. You need to find the cause (usually a food or some other kind of allergy) but that can be pretty pricey. Vets sell special shampoo for this. One vet told me to give a final rinse with a vinegar/water solution.(not too strong)The vinegar is acidy and the yeast does not like that. Your dog will smell a little weird until his hair dries.
Reply:Does your dog shake his head excessively? Are his ears red? Is there discharge from the ears? If you answered yes to any of these then he could have Otitis Externa which is simply another name for a doggy ear infection.
The dogs ear has 3 parts, the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. Otitis Externa is an infection in the outer ear canal where 90% of ear infections in dogs occur. Dogs are prone to ear infections because of the anatomy of their ears. They have a horizontal and a vertical component to them, so it is hard for anything in there to drain out, like water or debris.
There are several causes of ear infections. The most common cause of ear infections are due to allergies. Some dogs are more prone to allergies than others; therefore they get more ear infections.
Another common cause is sporting dogs that swim. They get water inside their ears, and provided their difficult anatomy, the water in the ears cannot drain out. Therefore, this provides the perfect environment for bacteria and yeast to grow. It is recommenced that if you let your dog play in the water you dry your dog's ears thoroughly afterwards.
If your dog does have an ear infection it is important to properly clean your dog's ears before applying any medication.
To clean your dog's ears, start by placing a few drops of an ear cleanser into the ear and massage the ear to help loosen any debris that is in the ear. Then use a cloth or cotton gauze to whip the dirt out.
After your dog's ears are thoroughly clean, then you can apply your medication. Follow your veterinarian's advice about how much medication to apply to the ear, usually a few drops.
The treatment your veterinarian will prescribe will vary depending on the cause of the ear infection. For yeast infections they prescribe anti-fungals, for bacterial infections they will prescribe antibiotics. Normally treatment is applied directly into the ears, but in severe cases systemic treatment may be needed. This usually means have to give your dog pills orally.
In some dogs with severe ear problems, the veterinarian will usually clip the hair around the ear to help let more air into the ear. In extreme cases your veterinarian may recommend surgery to reconstruct the ear canal to let it drain easier.
Some dog breeds are more prone to ear infections than others, although all dogs can be get them. Dogs with large ears and ears that flop over as well as dogs with a small ear canal can be more susceptible than others. Ear infections in dogs need to be treated by your vet, so the next time you see any symptoms
