Question 1

i have been having itchy blisters on my vagina surface. i went 4a wound swab test n d result stated moderate streptococcus. pls wat does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Check for herpes: Staph might cause something like this, but also could be normal on your skin; staph often contaminates pre-existing skin sores. Herpes is the most common cause of genital area blisters or sores, although staph, allergies,  various kinds of dermatitis, or severe yeast infection all are possible. Keep working with your doctors. Good luck!

Question 2

yellow pus? blisters back of throat lasting >1 year. not pharyngitis,  streptococcus, laryngitis and multiple throat cultures all came back clear.

Accepted Answer

Sounds like: you have chronically infected TONSILS ("so called CRYPTIC" tonsils..These would produce negative cultures at this point! Surgical removal is the treatment of choice although some recommend LONG TERM ANTIBIOTICS. You need the opinion of a Board Certified ENT (Ear Nose Throat) SPECIALIST...
Hope this helps!

Question 3

my 15 yr had a bad case of mono 3 mos. ago. so sick ever since with severe head pressure  test revealed low immunity streptococcus pneumonia ?!

Accepted Answer

Low immunity: I think you meant that she had lower antibody levels to streptococcus pneumonia on blood test. If it is the case, she will need a booster shot with pneumococcus vaccine. It is hard to say her symptoms would improve though with this.

Question 4

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 5

i have streptococcus viridans in my mouth. i'm pregnant and due any day now. can i kiss my baby when he's born with this bacteria in my mouth?

Accepted Answer

No problem: Strep viridans is considered a "commensal organism" which means it is a normal colonizer in our mouths. It is not a pathogen in it's normal location, and it only becomes a problem when people who have heart valve problems have dental work. Kiss your baby to your heart's content!  and congratulations :).

Question 6

gingivitis test showed streptococcus viridans and candida albicans in mouth. can it be transferred through oral sex or kissing?

Accepted Answer

Oral bacteria: These organisms are very common and exist in most mouths. They do not cause disease.
So yes you will exchange these organisms but don’t worry about this.

Question 7

my lips are broken out like they are chapped but are not healing. they are big and puff. been that way for a week. what can i take to heal them?  its not fever blisters.

lips

Accepted Answer

Multivitamins: Just in case your symptoms are due to vitamin deficiency try taking an over the counter multivitamin. Any multivitamin will do. In addition use an emollient frequently. If that does not work, you may need to see your doctor.
Wish you good health.

Question 8

blisters above upper lip?

Accepted Answer

Herpes: Its probably herpes simplex 1 aka cold sores.  Abriva is a good otc medicine, your doctor can prescribe antiviral creams like Denavir or antiviral pills like valtrex (valacyclovir).

Question 9

what to do about a lip blister?

Accepted Answer

Cold sore?: If you do nothing and it is a cold sore it will go away in 7-10 days. You can use abreva or zovirax (acyclovir) ointments to speed the process.

Question 10

can lip balm cause lip blisters?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: I use lip balm to prevent blisters as i seem to have a virus that goes nuts with a cracked lip after sun exposure. One can be allergic to one or more of the ingredients in the balm.
