Ridges, pits,thickening or thinning of nails may suggest an underlying infection, kidney disease or nutrient deficiency. In your case,differentials will be a fungal infection, psoriasis or it may be a benign presentation of an underlying infection.
Do you have any other associated signs or symptoms like a rash or scaly plaque in other parts of the body?
From the history that you have provided it looks like paronychia of the nail which progressed to infection of the fingertip. Paronychia is a soft tissue infection around a fingernail that begins as cellulitis but that may progress to a definite abscess. It is of two types: acute caused by bacterial infection and chronic caused by fungal infection.

About two months ago my fingernail developed a black mark near the nailbed. It has since continued up toward the top of the nail while changing brownish now puple with the uppermost tip is turning white. I have an appointment in October.It doesn't hurt and does not appear to look fungal according to my doctor. Is October to long to wait? I read that melanoma can develop under the nail.
Similar situation with big toe. Caused by constant pressure against shoe end during sporting activity.
> 6 hours after, injury was throbbing pain and could feel my heart-beat with the pain pulses. Drilled a small hole in center of nail and pressed blood out which soon after relieved the pain.
Now 2 weeks later: under the nail became black. Lake swimming cleared the black (removed the remnants of bruising) and was able to squeeze out lake water through hole in nail.
At the top of the fingernail, where it grows out fron the finger, is a small semi-circle of white then the rest of the finger nail is pinkish. Prior to moving to where I now live my nails all had this little area now 3 years later only my thumbs do. Can anyone tell me if this is something to be concerned about? Thanks for any help!!
(Stool ova microscopy will likely be negative at this phase). Because infection in the early phase is rarely serious, generally treatment is delayed until definitive diagnosis can be made.
Established infection
o Benzimidazoles are the mainstay of treatment of symptomatic and asymptomatic infections. They are poorly systemically absorbed and thus have low human toxicity and exert their action directly on worms.
My opponent pierced my skin in the palm of my hands between two fingers with his fingernail. It was bleeding a little for a while. I noticed my opponent bites his nails a lot (don't know if that is important). Am I at risk of an hiv or other STD infection if the fingernails had blood underneath them or other fluids?
Thank you.
I have a rather large splinter wedged under my fingernail. I've tried to dig it out unsuccessfully with tweezers and a long pin. I soaked it in eardrops for swimmers because I thought that might prevent infection. There's no blood and it doesn't really hurt. What should I do?
My fingertips on my right hand have severe pain. It started in my pointer finger. I thought it might be ingrown fingernail so I used fingernail clippers to get it out(with no success of seeing signs of ingrown fingernail).. well each day i woke up it was in a different fingertip. This lasted about a week and went away. It came back a few weeks ago but much worse. All my fingertips are sore, but the severity of it moves every couple days to a new finger.
it travels from one finger tip to another lasting a couple days in one then seemingly disappearing then showing up in another. Typically it will affect two to three fingers per episode. Currently it is in the corner of my right thumb and my left big toe.
It started a couple years ago and will happen 1 to 3 times per year.
Any ideas?

I have herpes 1 on my face. It started just under my nose then transfered to in my nose, them under my fingernail, and then my lip. I just recently had an outbreak on my lip and it had healed but it is still red. Last night I was really tired and I drool alot when Im tired. I kept drooling and then I would move positions and end up laying in my drool. Could I transfer the herpes to my eyes this way? I know atleast twice I set my eye onto a drool spot.
I noticed that photographs of my husband when he was a baby were very similar in appearance to photographs of my son when he was a baby, but it was harder to see the resemblance in person than in the photographs. And judging by appearance is not a sure way to know anything unless the two possible fathers look extremely different than another. Have you arranged for a DNA test yet?
