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????
The big thing on your arm could be a staphStaph aureus food poisoning 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 staphStaph aureus food poisoning or MRSA, you will likely need an antibiotic.
can you give me any advice while i wait till then
whats the best thing to do to keep the staph away from others
i do my best washing my hands whenever possible
any important knowledge there is that you can tell me about it
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.
