Is is possible to get ink poisoning from tattoos on areas that have thin skin and veins close to the surface, such as your inner wrist?
Can you get ink poisoning from a tattoo on veiny skin? (ex. inner wrist)?
No; but you may be allergic to what they give you.
It is always possible that you could go into anaphactic shock.
Systemic toxicity could however arise if introvenous injection occurs
Reply:The type of ink used for a tattoo in non toxic unless your getting it in jail in which case aids and hepatitis would be bigger concerns.
Reply:The tattoo needle just punches your dermis; it doesn't go deep enough to hit veins. If it did hit a vein, it would bleed a lot and be hard to miss.
Reply:what the hell do you think?
Reply:if its not sterile, you can get it anytime and anyplace on your body.
Reply:The ink is not poisonous.If your thinking of getting a tattoo got o areputable shop.

If you accidentally spill a blood or semen sample (w/ HIV) in your skin, will you have also an HIV?
Like working as a nurse or medical technologist, if the blood or semen sample (which is positive of HIV) is spilled on your skin, especially thin skin such as arms or face, will you have a high chance of having one?
If you accidentally spill a blood or semen sample (w/ HIV) in your skin, will you have also an HIV?
Hi there,
There is a theoretical chance of infection, yes. HIV enters the body through open cuts, sores, or breaks in the skin; through mucous membranes, such as those inside the anus or vagina; or through direct injection. If you did not have any open cuts or sores you should be fine. HIV is not an easy virus to catch and it is very fragile: the virus dies upon caontact with air. If you were accidentally pricked with a needle, as can happen in health care settings, then you have more of a cause to be concerned. For those who do happen to find that they are in that situation (accidental needle prick) and are able to get to a health care facility or their doctor within 72 hours, doctors will put that person on PEP treatment. There is no guarantee that PEP will prevent the infection from happening simply because there is no way to determine whether the person had been infected or not nor is there any way to determine that IF they were in fact infected that PEP "cured" it.
There is a "window period" which is the time it takes the body to produce antibodies after HIV infection has begun. For the vast majority of those who will test positive, antibodies to HIV will develop within 4-6 weeks after exposure. Some will take a little longer to develop antibodies. Since PEP starts within 72 hours of possible exposure, antibodies have not had a chance to develop. Regardless, after PEP treatment for a month, doctors will want to retest at 3 months time to confirm diagnosis either HIV+ or HIV-.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
Reply:yes,high percentage,oh my, u must get help quickly,no joke.
Reply:No. Unless you have an open wound.
Reply:i dont think that if its unbroken skin it will affect you. but if it goes into a sore, open wound, eye, and possibly mouth you will get it. if it in any way gets into your bloodstream you will get it.
Reply:its possible, if one has a cut or wound on the skin - but it is highly unlikely. hospitals are supposed to have policies in place where this kind of accident is reported. so this should be reported to the supervisor.
Reply:if you live in the US, you should notify the superior
in hospitals, they usually have procedures that a person has to go thru, such as taking drugs for prevention for several months, take the hiv test after a few months, because it takes time for the virus to develop in the body, etc
it is possible that the person can get infected
Reply:HIV can be transmitted by blood/ semen but it must come into contact with the blood in your body. It can NOT penetrate skin unless it is damaged (i.e open cut) or if you spill some in your eyes, for example.
Reply:no as long as u didnt have no cuts on ur skin
Reply:yeah sadly STDs are absorbed through the skin.
you are in bad shape my friend.

Over the long run, does glycolic acid make your skin thinner or thicker?
It thins the skin by removing the outer layer, but it also promotes collagen production. So in the long run is it good or bad for your skin?
Over the long run, does glycolic acid make your skin thinner or thicker?
Glycolic Acid is a thorough exfoliator, removing the outer layers of thickened or damaged skin leaving a smoother and healthier appearance. Glycolic Acid can penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, increasing the rate of dead cell shedding, new skin cell production and collagen formation. With prolonged use, Glycolic Acid has been found to be beneficial in improving dry skin, treating age spots, improving oily and acne prone skin and decreasing fine lines and wrinkles... So in the long run your skin will be ok... Please dont ask why the hell I know this!

Is there anything i can do to improve translucent skin.?
Besides tanning. I am six months pregnant so tanning is out of the question. Im not extremely pale. I just have really thin skin and you can see my veins everywhere. Especially on my chest and arms. Think of the last carie movie they made.
Tanning made it go away to the point that my boyfriend didnt even realize how bright my veins are until i stopped going for a few months and things went back to normal. To me i look horrible. People are always amazed at how bright and big my veins are. I just want them to not be as noticeable.

Maybe try a self-tanner. BeautiControl makes a great self-tanning system called Leg Apeel. It's actually made for your legs, but you can use it anywhere, except probably on your face. It is a 3-step system that gives really natural-looking results.
1. Peel! Overnight, Leg Peel loosens dry, dead skin cells, especially on knees and ankles, so when you use Leg Scrub the next morning, you get ultimate exfoliation power. Cover your legs with Leg Peel prior to bedtime and allow to dry before getting in bed.
2. Scrub! In your morning shower, Leg Scrub polishes and smoothes skin for the best application of Self Tanner for Legs possible. Massage gently into your skin – paying special attention to your knees and ankles. Then rinse and shave your legs. This blend of sugar and salt leaves legs silky soft and moisturized.
3. Self-tan! Self Tanner for Legs contains advanced ingredients for an even, natural-looking tan that’s never “orangey.” Start at your ankles, applying the tanner sparingly on ankles and knees, and work your way up, massaging into skin in circular motions. The tanner is tinted to help you know where you’ve applied the product to ensure even coverage. Avoid contact with your clothing until the product is dry. For deeper color, wait at least 24 hours before re-applying. Color should last for several days, but you’ll want to re-apply at least weekly to maintain color.
You can order it online at www.beautipage.com/malorifulgham%26gt;product... new products%26gt;leg apeel
Reply:Use thick foundation makeup to cover up the veins. Find makeup that matches Your skin tone. People dont usually look at others arms for too long so it wont be very noticible. For your chest, do the same thing or just dont wear low cut shirts

Reply:If you haven't already, go to your local vet. If it isn't a normal irritation, it could be serious.
Reply:so you are saying that he is mainly bald!
Reply:could be his breed.. appaloosas have very thin manes and tails....
thin skin?? or thin hair on his body??
it could be food issues - he needs suppliments?
if the hair loss is spotty you should have a vet check him
Reply:could be ur not feeding him enough or he has a disease. take him to those horse doctors.
Reply:Well, he isn't sickly or anything, is he? I have, what you would call, a "traditional" Appaloosa - he has hardly any mane and tail, but he's about as hardy as they come being 16 hands high and very well built. Appaloosa's are probably one of the most unique breed of horse out there, because no two are ever really the same. If you feel that your horse is in danger in some way, shape, or form, than you should probably call a vet to ease your worry; but thin skin, mane and tail isn't something I'd worry about!
Reply:Need more info, write me if you want...breed of horse, age, allergies, how long the hair has been gone, color of horse, area it is kept in, with or without other horses in the same pen, type of shavings (if any) used, diet...... etc.
Reply:I would call a vet and ask him.
Reply:The first thing your vet is going to check after allergies is going to be thyroid problems. I agree that you need to give more info..like what is the overall body condition of the horse? what breed? age? feed? worming schedule?

Is there any way to thicken my skin?
i have eczema and i use topical steroids will i have thin skin forever please help me!
Is there any way to thicken my skin?
The thinning is due to the continuous steroid treatment. Once you are no longer applying the steroids then your skin with thicken again. You should go see an allergy specialist to find out what is causing the eczema.
You may try a vitamin E oil (if it does not irritate your eczema). Vitamin E is very good for the skin and is actually being used in the treatment of burn victims at many burn centers across the United States. Vit E has strong rejuvenating and healing effects on the skin.
Reply:Consult your doctor about this one.
