fingernail growth problems

I have severe irritation in and under my belly button. Iside is a cut that I admittedly think I caused with my fingernail, but I've done that before and it's gone away on its own. This has been with me for at least 10 days now and theirs a growth that's formed directly below my b.b. The growth isn't a zit, I can feel it's mass underneath the skin. It's small but irritated badly. Hurts if I touch it. ---Please tell me what this sounds like to you.

My 11 year old daughter has 1 hair-like growth on her scalp that is about 5 mm long and about 10 times thicker than her normal hair. It is hard and hurts if pushed or tugged on. It seems to point the same direction as the hair as it emerges from the scalp. She just noticed it today. I'd like to identify it and find out what to do about it. I have found terms like hardened hair, sclerothrix, sclero trichosis. I have searched things like huge hair shaft and gigantic hair shaft to no avail.

About the size of a small fingernail, a small part of skin has grown inside. My belly button is sore.

Around three years ago, I mashed my left thumb at work. This caused the fingernail to bruise and eventually come off. However, it has never grown back right. It has yellowing underneath the nail, like a fungus which the dermatologist tested for and was negative, and whiteness on top where the nail looks dead, and you can see the new nail underneath. The doctor didn't think I had damaged the nail bed because it was growing out straight, but is funny looking.

Unless your vision is totally back to normal with no detectable changes by now, I would go see your surgeon to have your flap evaluated for possible change in position, wrinkles or other complications from the eye poke. I haven't researched this specific problem before but with a quick look I found several comments online about the very slow to negligible flap healing from LASIK.

t have it on any other part and my wife has never contracted it. Fingernail and cuticle are normal but the growth remains. I should mention I have had Type I Diabetes for 35 yrs now and is well controlled. There could be an auto-immune element at work here.

Agreeing with Advocate1955, be sure to discuss this with your doctor. There's a condition called 'Terry's Nails' that is sometimes associated with advanced liver disease: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry's_nails It doesn't really sound as though this is what you're describing, but you should let them know regardless.

s been going on for over a month peryoticly I try to dig out what feels to be a hard(like a fingernail) mass out off the wound. Tonight I had my son dig it out what we found was a hair deep(maybe a centimeter) under the skin on the edge of the wound and then fished out a piece of skin that looked like a worm almost. After dining the skin and hair out its stopped itching completely. My doctor says that it's eczema but I'm not so sure about that.

For about 6 weeks I've had a lump on my labia majora about half the size of a fingernail. It's itchy and sometimes painful like a pimple. It is completely smooth and the tissue around it isn't red or anything. Doesn't look like a wart or a sore at all. It hasn't changed I'm thinking it's just an ingrown hair that is out of control. I have only one partner with no STD history and I have no history of STDs.

I don't believe that it's lactose that causes that, otherwise just about everyone with lactose intolerance would have those marks.

He can't have gluten or dairy either one, which is normally the issue with Celiac.

Taps of his knee removed up to 500 cc of fluid, but no evidence of anything specifically wrong inside the knee, just that it was being damaged.

Hi all I recently found a dark red circle on the tip of my tongue. Its about half to 2/3 of a fingernail in size. It doesn't hurt, though it feels tender some times.

About a week ago, I was cut inside my vagina via my boyfriend's fingernail. Throughout the sex that day (2-3 times after) I did not feel any sharp pain, just a normal, slight soreness from repeated intercourse. The next day, I felt extremely sharp pain when we attempted penetration, and I figured this was due to an internal cut (due to a fingernail) because I experienced a similar feeling a couple of years ago.

Does herpes whitlow cause pain under the fingernail and forearm? I've heard of the tingling and burning, I'm not feeling either but I'm feeling numbness under the fingernail and forearm?

This reaction you talk about is unusual, I would start firstly with your doc, if they are adamant about not restarting the increlex then growth hormone is your next step. I am wondering about a reaction that has nothing to do with the medication rather perhaps something else unrelated?
