Question 1

if a bacteria infection caused by a nik on the lip from a safety pin goes untreated what would happen?

Accepted Answer

Spread: The wound could get larger and if its still not treated, iT could wind up in the blood causing a bacteremia

Question 2

can your makeup re-infect you after an upper respiratory infection, viral or bacterial?  i toss lip products, but what about eyeshadow, powders, etc?

Accepted Answer

Little or no risk: After recovery from a respiratory virus, the infected person generally is immune to new infection with that particular strain. Probably no risk at all from resuming use of your cosmetics. But for sure don't let anyone else use them.

Question 3

have a spot on outer vagina lips. small smooth black dot. just showed up one day. just had pregnancy test, bacterial infection/sti testing. all clean.

Accepted Answer

Pigmented lesion: This could be due to several things-- a vascular lesion, or a melanocytic (nevus-like) lesion. Given the small size and smooth surface, it is unlikely to be a problem, though if it is a melanocytic lesion, it bears watching, and possible removal if any enlargement of other change occurs. Vulvar melanoma is uncommon, but may develop from long-ignored precursor lesions.

Question 4

do bacterial mouth infections clear up on their own.

Accepted Answer

Mouth Infections: The mouth is vascular and therefore infection is not usual. If you have a bacterial infection i would not treat it by waiting to see.  The infection can spread.

Question 5

what to do if i have head on the lump. and it's not very visible, but you can feel it. is it some sort of bacterial infection?

Accepted Answer

Can't say: A  lump could have a number of causes. Without visualization it would be hard to tell.

Question 6

my 7 year old son have bumps in his head, his doctor said its a bacteria infection. i want to know is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Anywhere you scratch: You can get a bacterial infection anywhere you scratch, which includes the scalp. Kids pick up a collection of various  germs on their hands and under their fingernails.Any time they scratch, it's like plowing a field and planting seeds.It's not an everyday occurrence but I've seen it in the office occasionally.

Question 7

is it possible to contract a bacterial infection in the mouth from giving oral sex?

Accepted Answer

= STD: Yes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, similar are bacterial infections that can be transmitted via oral sex. Know your partner!

Question 8

white layered dry skin in head. if removed, it turns into black skin like rashes. 6 month before found and treated streptococcus bacterial infection?

Accepted Answer

Skin cancer?: When a skin lesion fails to heal and not associated with burning or itching, one should get checked for skin cancer.    The fact that it was infected 6 months ago might be due to scratching thereby introducing bacteria into the lesion.   It is only prudent to see a dermatologist to make sure that it is not a skin cancer.

Question 9

can amalgam fillings be the cause for a bacterial mouth infection?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Not to my knowledge. But if a tooth had a old amalgam filling broken down and was not able to be properly cleaned, bacteria in the mouth could colonize and cause a problem.

Question 10

my boyfriend gave me a bacterial infection and clymidia i took my medicine for the clymidia 2days before i gave him oral sex can i have it in my mouth?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: It is possible, but unlikely.  In any event.  You should be re-tested for STD's and you and your boyfriend should be treated for them and avoid having any sexual activity until 48 hours after your treatment has been finished.
