Question 1

if u have cracked skin from ddermatitis/ecsma or open burn blisters, small cuts do any of them let in hcv or hiv and when is a cut no longer open?

Accepted Answer

Can happen: Hcv and HIV can be transmitted by blood exposure. Once a cut has lost sensitivity it's usually closed.

Question 2

currently taking prednisolone steroid for mild acid burn in eye. however every time i use them i can taste it in my throat/mouth. will that small dose have a systematic effect on my body/immune system?

Accepted Answer

: No. Amount of prednisolone getting into your throat is not sufficient to cause any systemic effects.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 3

i am getting actual small burns on my ankles. they happen at night and i find them when i wake up to severe burning of my ankles...what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Bedbugs: Burns don't happen spontaneously. If you are waking up with small, red burning areas at your ankles, i would consider the possibility of bed bugs. Their bites can leave similar lesions. Strip all the covers off and check the creases of the mattress for them. They are increasingly common in the us and may require extermination services.

Question 4

which burns more calories, running longer or faster?

Accepted Answer

Running Longer: It's safer, for your joints, and produces less injuries.  It is better to walk briskly as it decreases the risks of injuries much higher and allows you to do it throughout your lifetime and not limited to your current age.  The truth to your answer is depends on what distance and speed and it's a mathematical formula on 'WORK' for calories burned.  But safer keeps you exercising longer.

Question 5

for a month now i have had a small spot on my back that itches and burns. ive noticed that theres tiny red dot around the spot. ?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: For any changes in skin you should see your doctor for an exam very important

Question 6

good day
i have spots on my back and it getting more and more. as big as a 10cent coin... my wife say it is soft and look like cigarette burns that healed. with small red dots in it.?

Accepted Answer

Eval: These lesions would require medical history, visualization and possible testing to be able to provide an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan.

Question 7

the builder for a house i just bought burns their garbage, including plastic. i got near to the fire and inhaled a small amount of smoke. i have since developed cold like symptoms. are my symptoms related to my exposure? should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: Although certainly inhaling a bunch of smoke can cause irritation of the airway and lungs, it generally does not cause cold like symptoms. If the upper respiratory infection symptoms persist, see your doctor. Good luck.

Question 8

every time i pee it burns and i go frequently. and when i urinate sometimes only small amounts come out. i have to push the remaining out. please help?

Accepted Answer

Urinary tract : Infection can give you these symptoms. You should see your doctor. You may need an antibiotic. In the meantime drink plenty of fluids and in some cases cranberry juice may help as well. Good luck!

Question 9

penis irration my boyfriend is having penis irration and it has been going on for last almost three weeks and there has been small red bump but not coming out of the surfarce and it has been like chap pilling. it burns once in a while it itches and the is

Accepted Answer

He : He may be dealing with a fungal infection aka jock itch (tinea cruris). An over the counter anti-fungal cream like Clotrimazole should help if this is in fact the problem. On the other hand, if the small red bump persists, or is very painful there may be something else going on like a genital wart, herpetic lesion, or bacterial infection (abscess). I suggest he try the Clotrimazole first, and if that does not work see a doctor.
Best of luck and happy new year.

Question 10

if i have a small bump in my mouth that burns sometimes should i go get it looked at again i just went 2 months ago and the dentist wasn't worried?

Accepted Answer

Second opinion: I suggest you go for a second opinion to an oral surgeon. Your dentist "wasn't worried".. Then what exactly is the lesion? What diagnosis did your dentist make? This needs to be possibly biopsied, especially since you dip. Please call today.
