kinda worried about me

by space_ghost, Mar 23, 2009 01:39AM
ive just been tested for HSV 1 and 2 and came up negative.
a big relief, but my dr. says i have protein in my pee.
whats that mean??

now im not so much concern about that but much more concern about this.  i got this big red bump on my arm, its elevated up from the skin, really red, doesn't itch but is quit sore, hurts only if it is touched.  now stupidly i just popped it and  im kinda concern now.

pleaase dont just answer and tell me to see a dermintolgist, dont got the money or time.  
if you can just tell me what you think it can be
and if it is serious what would happen after popping it????



please reply.

None of these are related to STDs.

Protein in the urine can be suggestive of a lot of things, and you will probably need to follow up with more testing, possibly with a urologist.

The big thing on your arm could be a staph or MRSA infection.  Has your doctor seen it?   Since you've popped it (never a good idea, by the way), let your doctor see it promptly.  If its staph or MRSA, you will likely need an antibiotic.

It could be a staph infection.

You really need to go to the doctor.
