Needle mark on hand? HIV???!
Question: Ok, I am 19. I have OCD and a phobia of HIV.
I noticed on my hand that there is a swollen scratch and then a scratch that has a burised color and then next to that is a red dot.
I was playing with my dogs earlier and we were playing pretty rough which would most like explain the scratch marks and they bit me a lot....
Referring back to the fact that the scratch marks and red spot are all together in the same area of my hand about a cm away from eachother.
This red dot doesn't look like it is open skin and whenever I pinch it to look at it, the red mark disappears.
Is this a needle mark or where the blood has come to the skin of my dog biting me?
I am freaking out because I am scared that this could be a needle mark but I don't recall that happening.
I just want other people's opinions. Whenever I look at it under light, it doesn't look like the skin was broken........and when I pinch the skin right, the red mark goes away...
please help!
I am scared someone pricked me!

Its from the dog, is bruised the skin which could cause just a lil dot. your fine. I know hiv is scary, but no one is going to inject you for the fun of it. Try to research hiv and break yourself from this phobia, it will end up rueining your life.
It most likely is from the dogs
I would say it's probably from the dog. The likelihood of someone sticking you with a needle without your knowledge is pretty slim and the likelihood of your dogs allowing someone to do that to you is slim to none.
u don hv to worry ... it is not a symptom of HIV . it is due to ur skin problem .. due to the lack of vitamin D , melanin pigment help in this case .. it happens to skins lacking thr nutrients ... oil is good , sun bath is good ... so take care of ur skin .. nothing to worry ... it is not a big deal .. jus give the essential nutrients to ur skin ...
i think you should see a doctor, just to be safe.
okay, when i was 7 or 8 i was playing with my dog and i leaned back and a USED HERION NEEDLE WENT INTO MY HAND! so believe me, i no the situation.
if you didnt feel the puncture then its probably nothing to worry about.
as for the red mark that goes away when you press it I HAVE THAT TOO. im not sutre what it is, but my mother is a doctor and she told me that it was absolutly nothing to worry about, its on my hand, where the palm and the thumb meet, on the oppisite hand of the needle mark.
im 99.99999999999% sure you have nothing to worry about but if i havent convinced you, you can always get checked or have someone look at it.
(if it hasnt been long ur 100% ok, i was negative for HIV or AIDS but just in case they gave me the AIDS cocktail to take every morning for 6 weeks.)
HOPE I HELPED :D
