HIV, HEPATITIS C infection by using public paper towel.

Resolved Question:

Hepatitis C exposure concern. I was at a public bathroom ( my university) and there was no tp available, so I found some paper towels on the floor ( not in the holder), whiped and proceded about my day, i have since started freaking out, because it dawned on me that I might have put myself at some infection risk for something? ( i should say that i err on the side of paranoia on most cases), my particular concerns are with diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis c, please help put my mind at ease!

Hello,
Thank you for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
As per your description, it looks like Fissure in ano associated with internal piles.
I saw your picture also.
Fissure in ano is nothing but a crack inside the Anal canal. It causes pain while passing stool.
In the pic,there is a bulge at 7'o clock position. As piles are common at 3,7,11'o clock positions,you have piles also.
You should take high fiber diet, drink plenty of liquids and eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Your stool should be soft.
Non vegeterian should be avoided.
It may get resolved with dietary measures.
If there is no response, then a general surgeon will examine you and further treatment can be decided.
It will come down.
Hope I answered your query.
If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards

Twice a day sitcom? Should I use warm water to soak the affected area


Hello,
You can start with 50 mg once daily for 2 weeks.
If not much improvement you can shift to 100 mg twice daily.
And yes warm water can be used to soak the area.
