my husband has red circle dots on his hands he got them after our kitten bit him while rough playing as days pass the bit marks are the dots?

Question

My 3 year old has itchy red bumps on her hand, fingers, & toes. No fever, has an appetite still, happy and playing as usual. Coughing for 2 weeks.?

Answer 1

Dots: They may be from the bite. Despite not having any symptoms he should be seen by a doctor to make sure there is no brewing infection.

Answer 2

Pasteurella infectxn: It is likely that he is having infection called pasteurellosis, a bacterial infection commonly transmitted via a cat, dog, or rabbit bite or scratch. It is hard to tell for sure what he has, but i recommend getting it evaluated by doc for possible treatment--easily treated with penicillin-based medication. He may also need a tetanus shot too. Please consult doc. Good luck.

Answer 3

Protection: Protection of your skin is key - meaning both gloves to protect from physically abrasive materials like metals, tools, chemicals, etc and protection also with a good moisturizing agent. Choose a quality brand (aquaphor, aveeno, (oatmeal) eucerin, etc) without fragrances and apply liberally to hands multiple times daily. Auto & home repair stores also sell various barrier cream/paste products that may help.

Answer 4

Hand dryness: This may depend on the source of the dryness. If you work outside, you may be washing the hands frequently, that being a source of the dryness. Certain chemicals can cause dryness. Fungal infections can cause the hands to crack and peel. The initial treatment would be a simple trial of frequent use of hand lotion containing aloe and lanolin (if you're not allergic) after hand washing.

Answer 5

Depends on exposure: How much hand washing depends on your environment and how many items you are touching or manipulating. It also depends not only what you touch, but also your activity...Hand washing is particularly important prior to eating, putting in contacts, etc.

Answer 6

Posture?: How do you use your hands? Do you type a lot? Are you a massage therapist? When did it start? Do you have any moments where it does not tingle? My top differential is carpal tunnel but to have that diagnosis you need to see a doctor.

Answer 7

Soft tissue damage: If he has recently started or increased his work he is probably causing overuse trauma. If it doesn't go away with time off he may have an injury that needs to be treated.

Answer 8

Living Life: No. Of course not. There are all kinds of people in the world who learn at different rates and under different circumstances.
