Question 1

is it safe to masturbate if you have ringworm on your hands?

Accepted Answer

Treat the ringworm: As long as you are applying antifungal medications to the lesions of your hands, washing and thoroughly drying the areas touched, you are at minimal risk of spreading this to other areas of your body.

Question 2

can you masturbate with ringworm if its not on your hands?

Accepted Answer

: I can think of no reason this condition should alter your activities of living, beyond trying to cure it and prevent spread to other locations or people.

Question 3

if i fingered a girl, and washed my hands afterwords, is it safe to masturbate?

Accepted Answer

Sure: You moistened your finger with some of her genital fluids, you then washed those fluids off, and now you ask is it safe to masterbate? If you thoroughly cleansed yourself you should not be able to transmit any infectious agents on your hands to yourself or others. Practice good hygiene and you can easily get Purell-type cleansers in any major pharmacy.

Question 4

if i got semen on my hands after masturbating and i touched the outside of my girlfriends vagina 5 minutes later can i get her pregnant. yes i know i should practice safe sex and she should take a pregnancy test. i just wanna know if it's possible?

Accepted Answer

: The sperm need moisture and relatively quick access to the inside of a girls genitals to function well enough to do the deed. From what you describe, i can not see that happening. They die quickly in the environment outside the body.

Question 5

i have bad ringworm on hands, what to do, any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Topical antifungals: are readily available over the counter are usually effective at clearing up superficial fungal infections.  Symptoms which do not improve or worsen after diligent application for several days should prompt an evaluation by your healthcare practitioner for more definitive treatment with oral medications.

Question 6

is rubing alcohol or nonsente hand sanetiser on my ringworm before putting my medicated medicine good or bad?

Accepted Answer

Immaterial: It will make little or no difference, since the alcohol evaporates rapidly and will not do any damage to the antifungal action of your medicated ointment, and eliminating a few bacteria with the alcohol will neither improve or deteriorate the dermatophytic fungus causing your ringworm.

Question 7

i suffer from eczema on the hands year round. i recently developed two perfectly round rings on the side of my hands. can ringworm be painful?

Accepted Answer

Itching: Eczema is common caused by contact allergens (gloves, wetness, fur) and causes inflammation which is itchy.  The areas you are referring to might have become lichenified or inflamed to the point where they are red, thickened, and painful.  This does not discount the fact that skin breakdown from eczema can increase your chance of opportunistic infections like the fungus that causes ringworm.

Question 8

i have had pink circles coming and going on my hands.  at its worst they were raised and resembled ringworm.  they fade completely and come back.  ?

Accepted Answer

Not certain timefram: I am not certain what  your  time frame is. It sounds  like a type  of urticaria. Uncertain how often they come and go, how big are they? do they itch? How large are they when they start and when they finish

Question 9

hey i have ringworm on my hand. how do i hide it?or make it less noticeable? my friends and people are seeing. it got bigger even though i use a cream

Accepted Answer

Wrong cream?: Show this to a doctor and make sure you are treating it correctly.

Question 10

what does ringworm on the hand look like after 5 weeks of treatment?

Accepted Answer

Ringworm: If properly diagnosed and treated, ringworm of the hand should be completely resolved by 5 weeks. At worse there might be some residual faint pink tint to the skin and it may be a little smoother than normal, but no scarring. In individuals with darker pigmented skin the area of the healed infection is likely to be lighter in color for several months.
