Question 3

is it possible for you to get pimples on your hand?

Accepted Answer

No but pustules=yes: The glands within the skin of the hand differ from those involved with pimples. However, you have various hair follicles &amp; sweat glands that can &amp; do occasionally become infected by skin germs &amp; may have a similar appearance. There are also other skin conditions  that may look similar.

Question 4

what does it mean if you get small itching pimples on your hands?

Accepted Answer

Dishydrotic eczema?: Eczema on the fingers and hands doesn't have to look like the dry, crackly surface skin texture of eczema elsewhere. Fingers can have itchy flesh-colored bumps, called dishydrotic eczema or dishydrosis. The treatment is as in eczema, with hydrocortisone cream or other steroid creams. .. and if the rash worsens or isn't better in 1 or 2 weeks, a primary care doctor or dermatologist can evaluate.

Question 5

is it possible to get hiv or aids by touching a person's bloody wound, dry hands with a dry towel one minute later and squeeze a pimple on my body?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: But the series of actions described in this question are never a good idea. 
If possible, always wear latex gloves when touching another person's sores or blood. When you are done, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Then it is ok to touch your own body, although squeezing pimples should also be avoided.

Question 6

i have a bump on my hand but it looks like a pimple except smaller. how should i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: I woundn't advise trying to treat this yourself. We see compilicated wounds all of the time from patients trying to drain lesions on their own. It's best to get this evaluated and treated by a physician.

Question 7

masseuse's hands feel rough when she's massaging me then i remembered that i just popped this pimple in my back. is it possible to get herpes or stds?

Accepted Answer

First, try to : refrain from manipulating acne as the inflammation caused usually produces scarring, prolonged discomfort and secondary infection.  While it is unlikely to contract an STD  from a licensed masseuse, bacteria can be introduced though I am surprised the masseuse would agree to perform the service with an open acne wound.

Question 8

if you pop a pimple with your finger by accident, can the bacteria from inside the pimple spread from your finger to other things even if you wash your hands? i never pop pimples so im nervous the stuff from inside is going to get on other things?

Accepted Answer
