It says it can cause frostbite. While I was using it it dripped on my finger twice. When I was finished I washed my hands. My finger isn't showing any signs of frostbite or anything. Do I have any need to worry about it or will it be ok?

You should be fine.  Frostbite from that probably takes extended exposure to the cold instead of just the little bit of time that you had.

Not a good idea.  If you are using water from the faucet and for that matter even sterile water there is chance that you will get an infection.  Imagine injecting 20 cc of water into you biceps and the water has germs.  The infection could be quite nasty and quite painful.

DONT TOUCH IT. DONT SQUEEZE IT. Warm soaks, compress and patience. Theyre caused by a bacteria that lives on your skin. Switch to antibacterial soap to help avoid them in the future. They hurt like crazy dont they?

well, am a medical student.  if ur hands and legs feel icy cold in cold weather, and they r usually either red or blue, then the blood vessels of ur extremeties get vasoconstricted (narrower). so there is no enough blood supply to ur hands. In severe cases it could lead to death of ur finger tips and ur finger tips could shed off.  but this is rare.   mild cases could be treated by putting ur hands in warm water and using gloves.  if this doesnt make u feel better, then u have to visit a doctor ASAP.  Good luck.

It sounds like a staph infection.   I have had one,  as per the doctor, you need to keep it draining, this will ease the pain, as well warm moist compresses as often as possible will help it to drain faster.  These are very painful, so take some ibuprofen. Although these can be treated at home. It is best to see a doctor as these can turn into a very serious and contagious condition called MRSA.   You probably need an antibiotic. It is very important to keep your hands washed very thoroughly after touching this, and do not allow the fluid from this to touch anything either. It is my understanding that these are very contagious, even on your body. You may want to go to the doctor if after 3 days, you see no improvement, or ease in pain, especially if you have a fever.

I believe the answer to your question lies on the amount of humidity in the air and the moisture content of your fingers...\n\nLiken it to putting your tongue on a cold metal pole outside in the winter. the moisture on your tongue in the form of saliva immediately freezes on contact with the metal pole.\n\nSomething similar happens when ice cubes stick to your fingers. The moisture in your finger tip immediately freezes on contact with the ice. Hence the sticking.... On dryer days, your fingers are dryer, and there is no sticking.\n\nHope this helps.

I suspect you used Naphtha, a volatile liquid used for cleaning items and removing oil and grease. This is a relatively safe chemical with the exception of its high volatility and flammability. However, anything is possible and if you have doubt or issues, I suggest you see a medical professional.

Definitely, get it looked at by a doctor ASAP.  It could be the start of skin cancer which is easily treatable if not left too long.  If left it can spread and be deadly.  Not trying to scare you, but overexposure, particularly burning and lingering coloured spots point to something not right.  Rule it out right away...

ah ah. that's funny. it happens to everyone. so just be careful when you remove it.

it will only hurt you if you eat it, like more than what's dry on your finger.  it's alcohol, so it will burn your eyes and i'm not sure about what happens if you eat it.  you can go to yahoo search and look up msds, then put in the product name to find all the cautions

my cousin had the same problem! his mom dipped his thumbs in a sour tasting non toxic fluid that stayed on for hours, i don't know what it's called, but i think it's product in the market. and he stopped trying in less than a week

i personaly wouldnt be worried try changing the brand of pad you are using you maybe allergic to some of the materials used in that brand of pad and the blood sitting and touching you may just be irrataing your skin give it till your period is done and a few days after too if it stops it was irratation if it doesnt goto a doctor ASAP

Are you asking what the effect of putting your hand in lukewarm water will be?  Your hand will most likely get wet, in fact, it may even get pruny.  I suggest that you see a neurosurgeon as soon as possible.

I only have an anectodatal answer for you.  But, I had a boyfriend who constantly used the stuff.  His skin got worse and worse.  I suggested that maybe he should gradually cut back to see if his skin would do better and after two weeks he wasn't using it at all and his skin was a lot better.  I thin k it over dryed his skin and therefore, it over produced oils to try and compensate and then it became a vicious cycle.  By the way, a lot of people swear by Pro-Activ to prevent it in the first place and not to treat it after it has occurred.  Good luck

I am wondering the same thing--mine started about a week ago but did not get bad until two days ago and is much better today.Are you in Michigan or Wisconsin or Illinois??-I think I picked it up in one of those states.P.S. Advil helps a lot.

Can't offer any advice,only solidarity! My right thumbnail is similarly affected, has been for about 10 years (I'm 43).  I've never damaged it or cut it funny, but there's a definate groove running top to bottom, and the nail notches in slightly at the top.  There's also a faint line 5mm long - looks like a crack but isn't.\nDo you think there is a special Society we can join? ;-)

You are so nasty. but if you are so worried wash it with warm water and a disinfectant like dettol. leave it air dry and i guess you are good to go.
