Patient's question:
I have many pimples on my body, and I also have hepatitis B, which is not well-treated. I want to get rid of the pimples because they are too big, and I'm afraid of blood transmission. Can hepatitis B be transmitted?Doctor's answer:
As long as you have hepatitis B with a large positive (HBeAg positive), your blood contains the hepatitis B virus. Therefore, the blood from squeezing pimples or acne also has a high transmissibility of hepatitis B. It is best to get an HBV-DNA test and liver function tests, and then receive antiviral treatment. Once you notice any symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to your diet, focusing on light and simple foods.
