system: How do you get warts?
output: Warts are more likely to develop on broken skin, such as picked hangnails or areas nicked by shaving, because the virus is able to enter the top layer of skin through scratches or cuts. !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } While dermatologists still don't know why, certain people are more likely to get warts than others. Additionally, children get warts much more often than adults, because their immune systems have not yet built up their defenses against the numerous types of human papillomavirus that exist. Biting nails creates an opening for virus to enter your skin.
system: When do you need to see a doctor about warts?
output: If you bite your fingernails or cuticles, do your best to stop. Dermatologists have a variety of wart treatment and removal techniques that are stronger and may work faster than commercially available products. Also, remember that all warts can be âmotherâ warts that give rise to additional warts in your skin. So, the faster you remove the wart, the less likely it will spread. Put a small strip over the wart and leave it in place for about six days.
system: What is a renin test?
output: It's an enzyme that helps control your blood pressure. When your blood pressure drops too low or your body doesn't have enough salt, renin gets sent into your bloodstream. That triggers a chain reaction that creates a hormone called angiotensin and signals your adrenal glands to release another hormone called aldosterone. Angiotensin makes tiny blood vessels narrower, and aldosterone tells your kidneys to hold on to salt and fluid. Both those things can raise your blood pressure. If that process gets out of balance, your blood pressure can get too high. High or low levels may help explain why you have high blood pressure: High renin with normal aldosterone may show that you're sensitive to salt.
system: What happens after your colonoscopy?
output: After your colonoscopy: You will stay in a recovery room for about 30 minutes for observation You may feel some cramping or a sensation of having gas, but this usually passes quickly You can resume your normal diet Read your discharge instructions carefully.

system: What is a wrist sprain?
output: A wrist sprain is a common injury for all sorts of athletes. All it takes is a momentary loss of balance. As you slip, you automatically stick your hand out to break your fall. But once your hand hits the ground, the force of impact bends it back toward your forearm. This can stretch the ligaments that connect the wrist and hand bones a little too far. The result is tiny tears or -- even worse -- a complete break to the ligament.
system: Why do people look for a second opinion after being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis?
output: So many of its symptoms can be caused by multiple conditions. Because of this, many patients like to look for a second opinion after getting an ALS diagnosis. A second neurologist may do a different round of tests that shows something new.
system: What muscle and nerve tests are used to diagnose amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)?
output: These tests include: Electromyography: EMG is one of the most important tests used to diagnose ALS. Small electric shocks are sent through your nerves. Your doctor measures how fast they conduct electricity and whether they're damaged. A second part of the test also checks the electrical activity of your muscles. A nerve conduction study: This measures the ability of your nerves to send signals. A small sample of your muscle tissue may be taken if your doctor thinks you have a muscle disease other than ALS. You will be given something to numb the area before the tissue is taken.

output: The area around the abscess will be numbed with medication. It is often difficult to completely numb the area, but local anesthesia can make the procedure almost painless. The area will be covered with an antiseptic solution and sterile towels placed around it. The doctor will cut open the abscess and totally drain it of pus and debris. Once the sore has drained, the doctor may insert some packing into the remaining cavity to allow the infection to continue to drain. It may be kept open for a day or two. A bandage will then be placed over the packing, and you will be given instructions about home care. Most people feel better immediately after the abscess is drained.

output: abscess, abscesses, boils, carbuncles, furuncles, hidradenitis suppurativa, pilonidal abscess, pustules, whiteheads
system: What is the outlook for a skin abscess?
output: Once treated, the abscess should heal. Many people require antibiotics, but you may not. The pain often improves immediately and subsides more each day. Wound care instructions from your doctor may include wound repacking, soaking, washing, or bandaging for about 7 to 10 days. This usually depends on the size and severity of the abscess. After the first 2 days, drainage from the abscess should be minimal to none. All sores should heal in 10-14 days.

output: !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } Painful and warm to touch, abscesses can show up any place on your body. The most common sites on the skin in your armpits (axillae), areas around your anus and vagina ( Bartholin gland abscess), the base of your spine (pilonidal abscess), around a tooth (dental abscess), and in your groin. Inflammation around a hair follicle can also lead to the formation of an abscess, which is called a boil (furuncle).
system: What is the follow-up for abscess?
output: Follow carefully any instructions your doctor gives you. The doctor may have you remove the packing yourself with instructions on the best way to do this. This may include soaking or flushing. Be sure to keep all follow-up appointments. Report any fever, redness, swelling, or increased pain to your doctor immediately.

Seek immediate medical attention for any puncture wounds, especially if: You think there may be some debris in the wound. The puncture wound was caused by a bite - human, insect or animal. You have one of the listed medical conditions. You are on steroids or chemotherapy.
system: What are the symptoms of an abscess?
output: Most often, an abscess becomes a painful, compressible mass that is red, warm to touch, and tender. As some abscesses progress, they may "point" and come to a head so you can see the material inside and then spontaneously open (rupture). Most will continue to get worse without care. The infection can spread to the tissues under the skin and even into the bloodstream. If the infection spreads into deeper tissue, you may develop a fever and begin to feel ill.

system: What causes an abscess?
output: When our normal skin barrier is broken, even from minor trauma, or small tears, or inflammation, bacteria can enter the skin. An abscess can form as your body's defenses try to kill these germs with your inflammatory response (white blood cells = pus). Obstruction in a sweat or oil (sebaceous) gland, or a hair follicle or a pre-existing cyst can also trigger an abscess. The middle of the abscess liquefies and contains dead cells, bacteria, and other debris. This area begins to grow, creating tension under the skin and further inflammation of the surrounding tissues. Pressure and inflammation cause the pain.
