Common Questions and Answers about Finger pain under nail

Avatar m tn I've had this pain under my middle finger nail for a couple years now and its excruciating....my doctor said soak it in warm water immediately after bumping it which helps take the pain away immensely. She said it is likely a raw nerve and regular soaking in warm water could help. I don't have time to sit and soak my finger often...wish there was a surgery for this. Now my finger is throbbing and in pain without even being bumped:-( at least I know its not just me now.
Avatar m tn ve been taking a lot of anti-viral drugs, doxycycline, ultram and lyrica for EBV and CFS. A few days ago I noticed blood under my finger nail (thumb). This was not due to injury. Should I be concerned? I read this condition is a symptom of both liver and heart disease. I have an appt w/ my doctor tomorrow to discuss. Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts / explainations?

Avatar f tn The nail has hurt and is swollen (from over a year ago) and now the whole finger is turning crooked to the left and turning down. I have pain under the nail like a splinter is there and I can straigten out my nail. I recently went to an arthritis doctor and he did a SED test and everything was alright. He said it was osteo-arthritis evev when I kept telling him my finger nail was sore and I thought there was infection under the nail.
Avatar m tn 12 hours before the fingering I clipped my nail on my thumb and I cut the nail too close to the skin and noticed slight pain but I did not see blood. This morning I look carefully at my thumb and noticed some dried blood very closed to the nail area and some slight pain as well. What is my HIV risk from protected sex and fingering in this situation. Very scare and please help. And I promised no more csw for me. THANKS SO MUCH!!!
Avatar m tn I recently went out with a friend as we were kissing I tried to take off her bra but my finger accidentally hit or poked the metal strap so I failed to remove it. It hurt under the nail of my finger since I just cut my nails to short. It didnt seem to bleed I hope but the skin under the nail seems raw and a little pain. she kissed my finger and slightly sucked it the next day when I told her. no sex just kissing 1) Im so afraid do I have any risks for hiv std?
Avatar m tn Can you reply my last question, that is, as a hada little wound under my nail at the time of fingering. Can HIV virus servive under the nail because under the nail there is low supply of air.Secondly when i washed my hands with soap can virus enter in blood with water.Is there any such possibility because i m feeling pain under my armpits and on the both sides of my neck.
Avatar n tn The most common causes are bacterial or fungal infections which enters the skin around the nail that has been damaged by trauma, such as nail biting, finger sucking, dishwashing, or chemical irritants. The yellow-green color, indicates that a collection of pus has formed under the skin (called an abscess). If this is the case it may require an incision and drainage. Warm soaks in a mixture of 50% warm water and 50% liquid antibacterial soap 3-4 times daily for about 15 minutes.
Avatar n tn I think Caryopteris has offered you good suggestions. This is probably due to the shape of your nail and or finger at the site of the in-growth. The best place to begin is with your PCP. If he/she is unable to treat this or a referral may be necessary. You certainly don't have to tolerate this uncomfortable situation... there are solutions. I wish you well and hope you will share with us the outcome.
Avatar m tn Some fell on my finger nails as well. The skin under my nail has turned hard and a bit yellowish color. The surrounding of my nail has turned hard as well. The burn hasnt cured yet. Im worried since its already been about 3 weeks and even though the burn seems to have dried out, it still hasnt fallen apart. Also worried about my hard skin under my nails..Your advice is much appreciated. Thank you very much!

15740368 tn?1442665097 Hi ! I slammed my right thumb on the car door two weeks ago and I have a small fracture on the distal bone and subungual hematoma. I took meds for pain, inflammation and antibiotics, now I only take Vit D, Zinc and Calcium.I had bandage for one week, but now I have orthosis because my nail might fall off. I have dark blue-purple-black hematoma under and around the nail and it's really solid on touch. The nail started to change the color from dark blue to purple and it's still growing.

Avatar m tn Hi, A fight broke out at school yesterday and one of the kids accidently touched my finger and blood went under the finger nail and was smeered over the upper part of the finger. I had cut my nail with a nail cutter before coming to school that day. I've got so much anxiety over this. I've never had sex or done drugs and I want to live a safe and healthy life.
Avatar f tn Hello, The symptoms are suggestive of fungal infection of the finger as well as nail. In onychomycosis(nail fungal infection) nail plate can have a thickened, yellow, or cloudy appearance. The nails can become rough and crumbly, or can separate from the nail bed. There is usually no pain or other bodily symptoms, unless the disease is severe. To prevent it wear gloves while working on people having fungal nail infections and do not share hand towels with them.
Avatar m tn t happen in any other finger and i let it go, and nothing wrong happen and the nail continue to grow normally ,,, and from 3 days i discover another yellow spot is growing under the nail of the same finger it is small ,, but now i am scared to death bec i read that those that start from under the skin is due of having a bad immunity system due to HIV !!
Avatar m tn He had a mishap with a machine and it ended up slicing through his index finger, under the nail. The nail was ripped off and part of the upper nail bed (in the body of the finger itself) is exposed. He put the nail back into place, however the nail bed (?) is still exposed. Should he go to a doctor and get stitches for the injury? See photo: [IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/2nbd2k7.
Avatar f tn After washing my hands, I found that the middle finger nail was very red in the seam of the nail, and it was still under the nail cover. There are two bleeding points, the pain is pressing, but there is no obvious bleeding. I want to ask me if there is a risk. If my wound refers to the risk of infection during the delivery. She was very wet underneath.
Avatar m tn I had over-cut the nail of left index finger a day before. I fingered a CSW with that finger ( may be for 10 seconds- immediately I felt little pain and withdrawn it...continued with other fingers). During that time , there was no bleeding but thin red line was visible under the over-cut nail . I have read the relevant thread and seen that this is not a risk . Is my specific case any exception?
Avatar n tn ve also been waking up with pain in this finger. It feels slighty warm and I can see a very faint, small, light red mark under the skin of the side of the fingertip. I don't recall injuring or over-using my hand or fingers recently. Thanks.
Avatar n tn After she left a few minutes later, I washed my hands thoroughly. Being somewhat paranoid however, I took the finger nail of my left hand to clean under the finger nails I had used on her in order to clean under the nail. I did this so rigorously that I created a small bleed under the corner of one finger nail that had been using on her.
Avatar m tn Recently, it stopped growing in size, the finger swelling and the pain both decreased significantly, but the black skin around the nail became more dark in color and VERY HARD. I am not sure if this black hard tissue will heal without treatment as the doctor said and it is a normal thing to happen or I should revisit him. THANK YOU.
Avatar f tn My index finger on my left hand has a tingling sensation on the side of it and the fingertip is sensitive to the touch and I have excruciating shooting pain off and on all day in the finger and under the nail. He is treating me for carpal tunnel. Is he correct treating me for carpal tunnel?

Avatar n tn ve noticed that the nail bed (and subsequently the overall length of the nail) of my ring finger on the left (guitar fretting) hand has gradually shortened. I believe that the trauma of fretting notes has introduced a stress point between the edge of the nail bed and the meat of the tip of my finger. This, in turn, is causing the nail to "uproot" from the nail bed. Currently, the nail bed on my left hand is approximately 2mm shorter than the nail bed on my right hand.
