i spilled buffer solution(cell lysis buffer)on a fresh cut.except potential irritation or contact dermitis, pharmacist told me it's not dangerous.but since it was an hiv selftest kit, should i still worry whether there were hazardous antigens in it?

Question 3

i have dermatitis on my nipples.i'm on medication so it's under control.but is it something i should worry about in the long run?

Accepted Answer

Nipple dermatitis: To answer this question:
1.  Once the nipple dermatitis resolves, one should taper down the treatments and switch to moisturizers like petrolatum.  Also identifying what is causing or worsening the rash, like harsh soaps, hot water, fragrances & dyes in detergents/fabric softeners and eliminating them helps control rash.
2.  Persistent nipple rash, especially if one-sided only, needs evaluation.

Question 6

i was prescribed ketaconozol cream for my seborrheic dermatitis a few years ago. i had used the medication off and on but i stopped using it about 7 months ago. is expired ketaconozol cream dangerous?

Accepted Answer

: Likely not. The expiration date on these items is the last date when they are expected to have the strength to do the job. After that point they become weaker and may do nothing. You can always have a sensitivity reaction to such products, like an allergy, but it would likely have shown up to the original product the 1st time you used it.
