Can Getting HIV From Barber Trimmer Cut Happen?

I got the cut from the barber trimmer is it the chance of getting hiv virus from that trimmer ?

1 Answer

Answered on 19th June '24

You are very unlikely to get HIV from a barber trimmer. HIV is not spread by inanimate objects like trimmers but through fluids that carry the virus, such as blood. Look for symptoms such as fever or maybe pimples but always keep in mind the probability of this happening is extremely low.

I'm 23 year old male and itching in my private area, more effected in my left side and also there is one pimples i.e Zakhm below my p***s and between two testis, but this zakham is just 3 days old but itching happening more than 1 month and when itching is uncontrollable I rub that place and due to this it upper layer skin removed, and I also apply Aloevera+ ginger paste and some cream and powder but this not make much effective and

Male | 23

Seems like the problem is fungal in the intimate area. This is what's causing the itching and the pimple-like bump. The most important thing is to keep the area clean and dry so the healing can take place. Avoid rubbing or scratching the area as it can make it worse. You can try using an antifungal cream to help clear up the infection. Make sure to wear loose-fitting underwear and don't wear tight clothing as this will result in faster healing of the area.

Hi I am 25 year old I have a scar on right cheek due to pimple,the pimple has gone but it left with a scar

Male | 25

You suffered from a pimple on your cheek that is currently a scar, which is very common. The skin may leave a mark after the healing of a pimple. Whenever skin tries to fix itself these scars form. To make the spot where it is blended with your natural complexion, use remedies such as lotions containing retinol or vitamin C.

Actually i got a little scratch by a street dog’s nail but it’s not deep also so pls recommend me what should i do.. i can also share the pic of it for better suggestion

Female | 17

I can see that scratching you due to a street dog can be a worrying issue for you. From your information, the scratch is not too deep, which may mean there is a low chance of infection. Watch out for any redness, swelling, or warmth around the area. First of all, wash the scratch using soap and water and then apply the antiseptic cream to the area to avoid any further infection. Watch the scratch for a few days, and if you spot any of the infection signs that are getting worse, like more pain, redness, or pus formation, it is better to go to a doctor.

I have a sensitive skin and an oily face. The products I use always give me skin problems like skin rashes, dark spots and pigmentation. I have a hot caramel skin. I want to know the best products for my skin

Female | 18

You may have some skin issues that can be tough to deal with. If your skin is sensitive and oily, try using mild products without perfumes. Possibly, dark spots, skin rashes and pigmentation could occur due to irritation caused by harsh components in the product you are using. Go for products labeled as non-comedogenic so that they do not block the pores on your face. Also, look for ingredients like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid that will help calm down and moisturize your skin. Always do a patch test before applying any new product to prevent unexpected reactions.

Hello! I am 29-year-old female, got stung by a jellyfish on 6th September in my right leg, pain was quite severe, we went to the emergency, I got some painkillers, now I use local and oral antihistamines, but the scars are still there and sometimes there is swelling and itching. No pain anymore. What else should I do? Is local methylprednisolone a good idea? Can I go to the swimming pool and/or run?

Female | 29

Jellyfish stings are common and can leave scars, swelling, and itching even after the pain subsides. Applying antihistamine creams can help with itching and oral antihistamines are recommended for swelling. If symptoms persist, a local methylprednisolone injection may be considered. It's best to avoid swimming and running until the scars heal to prevent further irritation.

I am a 18 year old male. I used my friends derma roller . And now I am anxious if I can get hiv from it although he doesn't have hiv. The roller was disinfected before I used it with spray alcohol.

Male | 18

It is safe to use a friend's derma roller after disinfection if it has been sprayed with alcohol. HIV is a sexual infection; sharing needles is one of the transmitter. A sterilized roller is thus no cause of fear or stress if someone else has got HIV. Such sterilized tools do not risk transmitting HIV.

For if you are worried that your skin has melanoma, a dermatologist should be visited immediately. Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer that needs medical practitioner attention. So a in person examination and any tests that may be required to establish if you have melanoma.
