What is wrong with my hand. I have never had this before and somehow I woke up with my hand like this?
Another picThis itch is insane
>>34505533go see a doctor
>>34505533>socks with sandals
>>34505533Looks like fungus. Go to the hospital or doctor
>>34505544That is my patio - not in public. Medical opinion please.
Looks like necrosis. What did you do recently? Any spider bites?
>american healthcare
>>34505564No I literally went to bed and woke up at like 2 AM and my hand was like this; this pic was after five days. I have never had this before and I am 51yo.
>>34505601Yeah I'm pretty sure that's necrosis. You might want to go see a doctor before you lose your hand.
US helath system I presume? Well would you rather pay 10k now or lose your hand and pay 100k later? I'm being serious btw.
>>34505607Yes - have no health insurance and am kind of broke right now.
>>34505564>>34505606nigga necrosis is black and looks like death, this is just a scab, probably something fungal or kind of eczema
>makes thread instead of just going to the doctor Some of you fags deserve to die by your own hands
>>34505631OK what is the recommended treatment?
>>34505641thats a question for a professional not random anons, if its fungal you need an antifungal creme for it, if its eczema you need another thing, just go to the doctor, they cant possibly charge you for looking at your hand, once they tell you what is it you can go to the drug store and tell them what you have, they will then give you whats going to help
>>34505533>>34505601>americans will post their rotting limbs on 4chan (5 days after they started rotting) rather than just go to the doctorlol
>>34505676Do you have anything positive to add?
>>34505533ask chat gpt or gemini, not 4chan. you can describe all the symptoms, upload pics and get a list of possible causes.
>>34505533Diabetes or MRSAEither way you have no choice but to go to a doctor. Take the debt now cuz it's only going to get worse(and more expensive)
>>34505533>>34505535Been fisting women lately? This happened to my fingers after I fingered some girl.
>>34505827No nothing that exciting - just a part time night warehouse job.
>>34505533Unironically, ask AI, it's much more likely to guess right than some random anon, even though the odds are still fairly low
>>34505842could you have gotten some chemical on your hand at the warehouse? this looks sort of like a chemical burn to me. maybe something that wasnt so toxic but that sat on your hand overnight and did damage. maybe ask some of your coworkers if theyve had any similar symptoms
You need to see a doctor today. It looks fungal to my untrained eye but if it came up that fast you need to be seen. Are you diabetic ?
>>34505929No it is a dry freight job - lots of reach truck driving. We are required to wear cut proof gloves for the shift. I have been doing this since losing my real job during Corona Virus - but this is the first time having this on my hand. My left hand is basically clear.>>34505934Not diabetic. I might have to go to the Ghetto clinic as it is the cheapest option.
>>34505958I'd hoof it to an Urgent Care TODAY
I am off to bed - have to work tonight. Pain in the as to cover my hand up for eight hours. Thanks to all who tried.
>>34505958I just did some googling and it looks like a serious staff infection is possible. I'd be seen by a doctor today if possible. Ghetto or not do what you have to do.
>>34505987>cant go to the hospital, need to be a good slave for mr shekelberg!Do goymericans really?
>>34505533I had similar shit to that in winter from the cold. But not this bad. There are probably creams that help with this.
>>34505653They 100% will charge you several hundred dollars for looking at your hand, but OP should go anyway and then get a payment plan for the medical debt
>>34505987>Hey, Mr Goldstein? I can't make it into work today, I have some sort of infection that is getting looked at by the doctor today. Don't want to spread it to anyone else. I can show you a note from the doctor if you need.It's that easy. If they'd fire you for that, they aren't worth working for in the first place.
>>34505533fungal skin infection. go doc, get cream, hand fixedbut most importantly go to a fucking doctor, don't let wet ends on here (like me) try to diagnose you from a fucking picture
>>34505533hopital
>>34505533Impetigo
>>34505676Going to a doctor is the worst financial decision you could ever make right after having a child
>>34505533Five seconds on fucking Gemini, faggot. You are literally the infected. Quarantine yourself. That image shows a skin condition that looks like it could be a serious infection. Because skin issues can be difficult to identify from a photo, it is important to see a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.The appearance, particularly the "honey-colored" crusting, is a classic sign of impetigo, which is a highly contagious bacterial skin infection. However, other possibilities include:• Infected Eczema: A pre-existing patch of dermatitis that has developed a secondary bacterial infection (often Staphylococcus aureus).• Contact Dermatitis: A severe reaction to an irritant or allergen that has blistered and crusted over.• Fungal Infection: Some types of ringworm can become highly inflamed and crusty (kerion).Why this needs attentionIf that person is looking for advice, they should know that bacterial infections like this can spread to other parts of the body or to other people. If left untreated, they can lead to more serious complications like cellulitis.They should seek medical care immediately if they experience:• Spreading redness or warmth around the area.• Fever or chills.• Increased pain or swelling.• Red streaks leading away from the site.In the meantime, they should avoid touching or scratching the area and keep it covered to prevent spreading it to others.
>>34505676It was that Hawaiian African Indonesian Kansan president wanting to make us as good as the Commies. We showed them. Thanks O’.
>>34505533It got that bad overnight? That's hospital time.
>>34505533>>34506838Contagious if true. Wrap honey and charcoal on it, if no doctors. Keep your fingers clean. Use a pocket knife and alcohol. Spread no evil.
>>34505533You have monkeypox>>34505544And you deserve it
>>34505533>>34505535Okay I know this isn't right but if it were me I wouldn't be able to resist picking the hell out of that thing/trying to peel it off like I do a sunburn. Yes I know I have a problem. I would probably pick it till it started bleeding and probably eventually got infected.
>>34505535Like others have said, it's most likely impetigo. You need antibiotics and for god sake keep your hand away from your dick and your eyes unless you want to experience hell.
>>34505533You are doomed. Doomed! DOOMED!
>>34505533See a fucking doctor.>But medical billsI don't care. If you're in the 'States go to an emergency room, since they're required to treat you even if you can't afford it.>>34505712Neither AI nor 4chan are a replacement for professional medical advice. Arguably, AI is even less trustworthy since it's a computer algorithm that just parrots whatever it hears.
>>34505533MOAR PICS!
>>34505601>I am 51yoHonestly a respectable age to die in the US of A. If you can't afford healthcare just sort whatever is left of your assets out, say bye to loved ones, let the infection take hold and die of sepsis
>>34508144honestly...same. i'd probably even chew on it. same way i chew on my nails and shit
>>34505533looks like the bruises I would get falling of my bike as kid
>>34505533You need a prescription strength anti fungal. Go to a doc.
>>34505676This would cost around or less than $200 dollars for an urgent care visit lol.
>>34505533Go see a doctor instead of posting on 4chan idiot
