Ringworm

Ringworm, infection of the skin, hair, or nails caused by various kinds of fungi that belong to the genera Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, and Microsporum. Ringworm tends to infect moist areas of the body, such as the groin, between the toes, and under the arms. The affected area usually becomes inflamed and itchy because of sensitivity to the fungus or a secondary infection by bacteria. In the most serious cases, ringworm results in an acute infection that produces running sores on the scalp or painful blisters on the feet.

Petting infected dogs and cats often spreads ringworm to human beings, but it is usually passed through human-to-human contact
. Even sharing clothes, combs, or towels may result in the spread of the infection.

Ringworm of the scalp, which occurs primarily in children, is the most contagious form of the disorder. It causes itching, and the hair may break off or fall out, giving the scalp a patchy appearance. Treatment requires that the hair be shaved off. An oral antifungal medication may be prescribed. Scalp sores must be kept clean and dry, and often the child is isolated to prevent the infection from spreading to other children.

Ringworm on the limbs, trunk, and face causes raised circular patches, which heal in the centers out as the patches widen. The condition derives its name from this circular pattern, though in the groin or armpit the patches may suggest butterfly wings, and at times the pattern is completely irregular. Ringworm of the beard usually occurs on only one side of the face and is often irritated by shaving. Ringworm may also affect the fingernails and toenails, causing thickening and deformation. When found on the feet, ringworm is called athlete’s foot.

LOL, I can see it now. Kato whips out a ****o with freeze frame while your kids have huge bulging eyes. Just stop her before she shows them the money shot.

Actually its all pictures of STD's... hahahaha hell it kept my legs crossed until I was 19 and even then I made the man get tested after being together for over a year

wel. Thanks Kato.
I dont have ringworm

Kato what are scabies?

Scabies is a skin infection, caused by itchy little mite, called sarcoptes scabiei .
The mite makes tiny little burrows in the skin, and is often unoticed at first. After a few weeks, you develop an allergic reaction to the waste products produced by the mite.

An itchy, allergic rash develops, which looks very much like eczema.

What are the symptoms?
At first you may notice an itchy rash in some of these areas of your body
around your wrists
between your fingers
in your arm pits
under your breasts
around your waist
in your groin
around your genital/pubic region
around your anus and crease of your bottom
behind your knees
around your ankles and between your toes
If you look closely, you may see little burrows in your skin. These look like little scratch marks, and are difficult to see.
As weeks go by, the rash will spread, and may cover most of your body. It looks very much like eczema. The itching is often worse at night.

Other members of your family, or close friends, may also have an itchy rash.

What causes it?
sarcoptes scabiei
This is the itchy little scabies mite, viewed under a microscope.
In real life, it is smaller than a pin head.

How do you catch it?
You catch scabies from skin contact with another person who is infected with scabies. You can catch it by simply holding hands. If a member of your close family has scabies, it is highly likely that you will catch it from them. You can pass it on to close friends and to lovers.
Some people believe you only catch scabies if you are dirty and don't wash. This is not true. Clean people can catch scabies too.

What tests will I need?
It is sometimes possible to scrape off a scabies mite, and view it under the microscope. However, if the rash has spread, and there are many scratch marks, it may not be possible to find the mites.
Sometimes the rash is diagnosed as eczema, because it looks very similar to eczema.

You have probably got scabies if the following are true

You are not an eczema sufferer but suddenly develop a rash that looks like eczema
The rash is very itchy, especially at night
The rash is in your skin crease areas eg. between your fingers, inside your wrists, arm pits, groin etc
The rash does NOT involve your head or neck
and a close friend or family member has also got an itchy rash


What is the treatment for scabies?
You need to use a lotion or cream which kills the scabies mites. There are many different types of treatment, and you can buy them from the chemist without a prescription. Your pharmacist or doctor can advise on the right treatment for you.
It is very important to treat everyone in the house, and any close friends or lovers, even if they are not itching yet.

You need to follow the instructions on the packet carefully, but usually you paint the lotion or cream all over your body, from the neck downwards. You leave it on for a period of time, usually 12 hours, and then wash it off.

Pregnant women and young children may need different treatment, and you should discuss this with a doctor or pharmacist.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How long will I take to recover?
The treatment, applied correctly, will kill the mite within a few hours.
Unfortunately, your body will still react to the dead products of the mite, and the itchy rash will continue for three or four weeks after you have used the treatment.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can I help myself?
Make sure you tell your close family, and any close friends or lovers, about scabies. It is very important that everyone who may be infected uses the correct treatment. If not, you may catch scabies and the itching will start all over again.
After you have used the correct treatment, you may need to use anti-itching creams, or anti-histamine tablets, to calm down the itching until the rash eventually disappears

Your welcome Blake..;)

The was gross.

You may just have piterius roseria.

same symptoms as scabies. except no pain, not contagious, and only shows up around the groin, armpits and chest. If thats what you have , youll know when the doctors will tell you theyre not sure what it is.

I got it once from being shot in the neck with a homeade blow dart. The dart had very potent expired medicine coated all over it.

****in Aaron shot me with it.

awww brotherly love

Kind of like in Requiem for a dream? Also, I like the idea of shooting people with a poisoned dart.

I got Staph infection.

:(

it will go away soon...just wash your hands often

I am. :)

Staph (pronounced "staff") is medical quick speak for staphylococcus aureus bacteria. This pesky little bacterium is very common (many people have some living on their skin all the time), but when it enters the human body, usually through an open cut or break in the skin, it can cause infection and trouble anywhere in the body. Staph infections tend to be pus-producing. Common minor (or relatively minor) skin infections caused by staph include:

Folliculitis
Infections of hair follicles that cause itchy white pus-filled bumps on the skin (often where people shave or have irritations from skin rubbing against clothes)

Boils
Infections deeper within hair follicles that leave large, frequently red inflammations (often occur on the face or neck)

Sties
Infection of the follicle surrounding the eyelashes, causing a sore red bump in the eyelid

Impetigo
The infection kids often get around their mouths and noses that causes blisters and red scabby skin

Abscesses
Infection characterized by pus and swelling that can occur in the skin and in any other organ.

Staph infection is also the leading culprit behind cases of food poisoning, and can be to blame for larger life threatening conditions, such as Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), pneumonia, bone infections (osteomyelitis), mastitis in nursing mothers, endocarditis (infection of the inside of the heart), and bacteremia (blood infection). People who are otherwise healthy typically do not usually become severely ill from staph infections, but those at special risk, who have weakened immune systems, include:

persons with chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, cancer, lung disease, kidney disease, or HIV/AIDS
people with various skin conditions
the elderly
newborns
people recovering from major surgery
injection drug users (especially those who reuse needles)
people whose immune systems are weakened due to steroid use, radiation therapy, cancer treatment, immunosuppressive medications
women who are breastfeeding
Health care professionals can determine that staph (and not some other bacteria) is the cause of an infection by taking a culture (usually a swab from what looks like a giant Q-tip) from the infected site. Once staph has been diagnosed, the provider will prescribe antibiotics that are known to work on that specific strain of the bacteria. These antibiotics (usually either pills or creams applied to the infected body part) typically kill the bacteria and cure the infection within a week or two.

Hospitals are working to stamp out staph infections, in part because the majority of hospital patients fall into at least one "at-risk" category, but also because drug-resistant strains of staph (versions of the bacteria that aren't killed by one or more of the antibiotics that are commonly used to treat staph infections) are becoming an increasingly common threat. These drug-resistant strains of staph do not cause worse or different infections than non-resistant strains, but they can be much harder to treat because the most common (and easiest to use) antibiotics may not be effective. People with resistant staph infections may require hospitalization to receive antibiotics through an IV or by injection.

Because improper use of antibiotics can help produce resistance to drugs, making future infections much harder to treat, the American Medical Association recommends that patients:

follow the directions for any prescription exactly
take all of the medicine prescribed (even if one feels better after only a few days)
never save old, leftover prescriptions for future use
never take anyone else's prescription antibiotics
Other preventative measures are careful treatment of all skin conditions, including wound care after trauma or surgery, IV drug users taking precautions when injecting, and people with special risk factors being attentive to early symptoms of staph.

HAHAHAHA LOL at Blake and his staph
