skin diseases?

---

this is a skin related question. what is something that pops up like chicken pox but its not, it has a crusty thin white scab. when you scrap the top off it is red underneath? ointment is not helping.also this just came up after my husband's surgery.
This sounds exactly like what I have! And I do have Psoriasis. The ointment will not help. There is a special cream your doctor will need to prescribe if he truely does have psoriasis but it costs about $150 per tube (depending on strength and size of tube). Psoriasis is nothing to worry about though. I have read somewhere that it means the body's immune system is down and that for some reason it thinks the skin has had a wound and tries to heal the wound that was never even there.

Best wishes!  (+ info)

What is the difference between viral and bacterial diseases?

---

Hey I have 2 questions:
1.is a virus a bacteria(or the other way around?)?Where do bacterias fit if they're not viruses and the other way around?
2.I'd also like to know the difference between viral and bacterial DISEASES,not between viruses and bacterias.I know you can cure bacterial diseases with antibiotics and you can't viral,but I wanna know the difference between the two.

Hopefully you'll be able to help,thank you very much!
Hi there. No, a virus is not a bacteria. Viruses are their own identity. They are infectious agents and are incapable of reproducing except by 'hijacking' a cell (such as a human cell) and utilising what they need from that cell to reproduce. Nasty, hey? You're right: because viruses aren't bacteria, they can't be treated with antibiotics. The symptoms of a viral infection depend on the particular virus. The rhinovirus - common cause of the common 'cold' - is exhibited through congestion (nose), sore throat, blocked-up head, cough, and so on. However, the influenza virus - what causes the 'flu' - can present with the above symptoms but aches and pains in the joints, some of the worst exhaustion you will ever experience and, the classic symptom, a fever (lots and lots of sweating).

Bacteria are capable of reproduction without outside influence (as opposed to viruses). Bacteria are responsible for wound infections such as 'golden staph' (or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), urinary tract infections (can be caused by a range of bacteria), and pneumonia (can be caused by several bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae).

Viruses and bacteria can be rather confusing. Hope that helps somewhat. =)  (+ info)

How can the spread of bacterial diseases be prevented?

---

What can be done to help prevent bacterial diseases?

Thank You!
Frequent washing of hands with soap and water, particularly before eating, is a simple and effective way preventing the spread of many infectious diseases.

Avoiding close contact with infected individuals can also prevent the spread.  (+ info)

Have you ever heard of having a bacterial infection on the skin around your vagina?

---

I had an exam done at the gyno yesterday..I am 32 weeks pregnant. She told me my vagina was healthy but the skin around it where pubic hair would be if I didn't shave had a bacterial infection. She has given me a cream and an antibiotic for it. I have never heard of your vagina being infection free but the area around it be infected! Have you? Also, she told me to stop shaving. I really don't want to do that, is there any other way to avoid this infection in the future?
do not wax. it is hell painful.

stop shaving until the time that the infection goes away. also when you shave again after that, use a new razor each time and make sure it is clean and new. shaving alone should not give you the infection. also, make sure you wash properly.

you should be fine.   (+ info)

Im a microbiologist; like to start my research on skin diseases. Please give me some advise for research plan

---

I like to work on molecular bio field on skin diseases. I can get samples not a problem; but i have to prepare abstract and give my work plan, primers, probes etc. I dont know how to start, how to plan, etc. please need suggestions.
It sounds like you don't have a specific research goal, just a general field. Since research happens due to grant funding, you have to know the standard format used by the granting agency/group. I'm working with a doctoral candidate for put together a PAH research project to be funded by the EPA. So, the plan will be put in the format they use for environmental evaluations.

Check out the link below and that will give you some idea of funding opportunities and some idea as to format. Rather than trying to generate your own idea, perhaps start first with answering a question posed by one of the grants.

I hope this answers your question.  (+ info)

Can a bacterial skin infection on the outer ear form as a result of repetitive friction?

---

I've got a habit of rubbing two fingers in downward strokes against my ear. I thought a cyst had formed but my physician said I had a
bacterial infection on the skin on my outer ears. He did not say what could have caused it, I suspect it was the constant repetitive friction. Am I correct?. Any input from a Dr. or a nurse, or a nurse practitioner would help.
Yes, if your skin was irritated from the rubbing, it may have gotten infected. If you still have a cyst there after you finish your antibiotics, go see a dermatologist. They will be able to pop or extract it  (+ info)
