I fell while i was walking and had a small abrasion on my palm, some guy gave me his drinking water to wash it and i did.
a minute after that i found a bathroom where i sterilized it with alcohol and washed it again with soap.
Has anybody started to feel better by drinking more water? I've read that it can help depression.
View 6 RepliesHow much water should I be drinking a day I do a lot of basketball training!
View 7 RepliesHow much drinking water is required for the body. Does it vary from person to person. I monitored my intake from the 1st of December 2014 and all I drank was over a litre and a half. I live in India. Please help. I do not feel thirsty nor do I have any medical problems. I'm a 37 year m fit and athletic male.
View 1 RepliesThis is my first pregnancy and I'm 7 weeks pregnant. I've got all day nausea (no vomiting) and like a dull ache in my stomach from hunger but can't seem to stomach much.
What have you found effective with taming down the nausea? I've been drinking hot water with fresh ginger but not getting much relief.
Anyone has bloating feeling after drinking a small glass of water. I had dinner at 8:05 and at 10:15pm I had a small glass of water and around 11or so pm suddenly I had feeling of bloating until I burp then I feel a little bit better. It is not the first time, from time to time I experience this. It worries me.
View 7 RepliesMe and my GF were making out and I think I rubbed her virgina a little hard. Now she is getting some pain as she washes her clitorious area. Is this something serious? She says there is nothing unusual when urinating or when doing nothing. The pain is there when only she is washing the clitorious area.
View 1 RepliesOver the last month my left thumb nail and occasionally my right will go a bluey/purple colour when I am cold or washing my hands. I went to see my doctor about this who suggested it was probably just stress and to take a multivitamin(!) However since seeing my doctor my fingers and occasionally my palms are going blue as well! On top of this both of my ring finger nails are permanently blue? I don't have an appointment until the 24th and am really worried because everything I have read online is suggesting heart/lung disease etc. I am only 26 years old!! I have been going through a very stressful time recently with losing my house and then a family member and am suffering with anxiety.
View 1 RepliesI know this is probably a question for the doctor, but I don't have an appointment for two more weeks. I gave myself a bad yeast infection by washing my menstrual cup in antibacterial soap. Don't do that, ladies! Very bad idea. Now I have taken a dose of diflucan and things are feeling better on the inside, but I have very bumpy, itchy skin right outside my vagina on my inner labia minora. It looks like tiny white sprinkles on it as well. In your opinion, does this sound like yeast, or has the LS spread? I just need to know which cream to put on it--antifungal or steroid--because I sure have made a mess of things!

View 12 RepliesEight weeks ago on a trip to the US I contrived to launch a bottle of shower gel into my right eye. The next day I experienced photophobia, sharp pains, and discomfort when moving the eye around and reading things up close. A US ophthalmologist diagnosed a corneal abrasion at the six o'clock of my eye (below the iris) and prescribed antibiotic ointment for 3 days, sure I would be 100% by then. Indeed the photophobia and sharp pain cleared up quickly but the discomfort did not.
The sharp pain returned to a lesser extent three weeks after the accident so I saw a local (Singaporean) ophthalmologist. With her microscope she discovered that the initial abrasion had healed but was not securely attached from dryness, and prescribed Optive drops and Vidisic gel, which I continue to use today. Two days later my cornea looked okay under the microscope and within a week the sharp pain had gone. Unfortunately the discomfort has never gone away, and seems to have stayed at the same level since the accident. (five weeks from the beginning of lubrication treatment)
My vision remains 20/20 in both eyes, but I feel I no longer see objects up close (when reading etc.) as well or effortlessly as I used to. There is a sense of discomfort, almost like a sliding of something in the eye, when moving the right eye around and "focusing" on distant objects. Moving the eye too fast will actually cause a twinge of pain. My ophthalmologist doesn't see anything wrong with the eye and suggested that I was experiencing dry eye due to the cornea no longer being as smooth as before.
I have read up on abrasions, erosions and dry eye. Presumably I came close to experiencing an erosion just before I started the lubrication regimen. I haven't been able to find much information on dry eye after corneal abrasions. Obviously my condition is bearable but I do hope that is temporary, perhaps with some deep layer of the cornea still healing.
I suffered a corneal abrasion on 2/12/2016. I was putting in refresh tear drops and got too close to my left eyeball and poked myself in the eye with the bottle tip. I was treated at the ER and followed up with an ophthalmologist. He said the abrasion has completely healed and my vision has returned to normal (what is was before the incident IMO). I can still feel a scratchy sensation but it is not really bad. It has now been 16 days after the incident. Will this scratchy sensation ever go away? Is this normal?
View 2 RepliesI had a small risk with a high risk woman. There was nothing that happened but a little fingering on the surface level (nothing deep) but my finger had a 2 mm sore/abrasion on it (surface as the type you get when you scrape your knee). The cut had happened about 20 hours before. I immediately stopped when I remember after three seconds.

View 2 RepliesI posted earlier about a corneal abrasion from ten days ago and vision still blurred, though I believe abrasion is healed. Still had corneal edema causing the blurriness in one eye.Doc giving me steroid & antibiotic drops & anti-inflam drops. Nothing helped much till he added Muro 128 and that made a big improvement in blurry vision getting better. Wondering how long one takes this and if anyone else has had an experience with it? Is it taken instead of, rather than in addition to steroid drops?
View 1 RepliesAbout two weeks ago I began experiencing sharp pain and irritation in the left region of my left eye. I was diagnosed with a corneal abrasion and was prescribed an eye drop medication to help it heal. Over the next few days my symptoms began to improve, the redness in my eye began to fade, and the pain was nearly gone.
However, a few days ago I have been experiencing extreme itching in the same region of my same eye. It isn't constant, and only seems to occur at random intervals, but it mainly occurs right or soon after I take the eye drop medication. My eye has also gotten slightly more pink/irritated than it was a week before (a week after I started the medication).
Is this just part of the healing process, or am I developing a reaction to the eye drop? Or could it be something else entirely?
I have an abrasion and inflammation on my frenulum (the penis one) from accidental encounter with my wife's teeth about a week ago. I applied neosporin for 4 or 5 days and that seemed to help some. But there is still some inflammation and sensitivity to touch (negatively so).
How long should this take to heal completely? Is there something else, like over-the-counter hydrocortisone that I might apply to it? How long should I let it go before seeing a doctor about it? What doctor? Urologist? Dermatologist?
It happened by using "lube" when masturbating but it was obviously just some cheap lotion so it didn't work very well. I was doing it quite often until i could feel the skin start to kinda burn off so I stopped doing it. I looked down and there was a lot of skin removed, there was NO redness no blood or anything like that. It was simply the skin being removed. I never really let it heal, but I did notice it start healing in the week that I didn't self-pleasure. I tried to heal it again, this week actually, I haven't beat the meat since monday and I am noticing no noticeable change or skin coming out. Did I damage my penis forever? and, I use vaseline, and occasionally some moisturizers, but I don't really notice anything. Is this something that's gonna take a long time to heal? Am i prone to std/sti's? Honestly, I am also a "self sucker" so I did a bit of that while the abrasion still existed...
Any tips? aside for lay off the whacking (which I am) , am I prone to std/sti's? , Is it safe to have sex with this abrasion (unprotected)?
I have been with one woman for the last month and we have had sex without a condom a few times. I only see her on the weekends so I tend to masturbate several times throughout the week. I noticed last week that I had a small dry patch of skin on my penis that within two days turned into what looked like a scrape, with a small scab on it. I have already went to the doctor and had a herpes test done even though he said he didn't think it looked like herpes. There was no puss or bumps associated with this, just slight pain with touch and a lot of anxiety!
View 1 RepliesI was given an unexpected gift in my ophthalmologist's office - a long scratch on my cornea during the process of my doc's assistant trying contact lens on me. Since I had local anesthesia I did not realize this happened till I felt some discomfort and my doc came in, looked and saw the scratch (corneal abrasion) over my pupil. He said I would be hurting quite a bit when the eye drops wore off and gave me a clear bandaid on the cornea for 2 days to help it heal. 3 days out it's better but still scratchy, the "bandage" was taken off yesterday but my vision is still blurry. This is on the same eye where I had cataract surgery 7 weeks earlier and I have been in the process of getting 2nd opinions since I got stuck with the wrong IOL lens. (I also posted in the cataract forum last month) My question is, is there a general time frame wherein the blurriness goes away? How to prevent what I read about re repeat occurrences? Do I need to delay getting my 2nd opinions on cataract re-surgery till this is back to normal? (hoping it WILL be back to normal of course!)
View 6 RepliesFelt a few days ago that i had something in my eye like a gritty feeling with a dull ache, checked my eye and noticed a clearish blob on my cornea
Googled it and obviously eye cancer came up and i started to panic
Left it a few days the ache has gone but still have this gritty feeling
Took a photo of it today and you can clearly see it but its a brownish colour and is casting a shadow on my iris
Is this a corneal abrasion ?im visiting the opticians tomorrow to see what they can tell me just wondering in the meantime if anyone else has had anything similar?
