fingernail problems in babies

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 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 no heart problems, no ashma or lung problems. I have asked all my doctors but nobody can tell me why this is happening or what can be done about it. What next?

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.

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?

Why is my fingernail on my middle finger starting to pull away from my skin and turn white and the bottom half is pitting and peeling? What could this be?

If the nail is black, you will lose it. The best drill is to make a hole in the fingernail immediately after the injury. This is best done by heating a needle and touching it to the nail until blood comes out. Sounds yucky and painful but it is actually painless. There are no pain sensors in the nail and you stop when you hit blood, which is under pressure and immediately comes out. The drill is NO HEAT for 24-48 hours, then warmth. Heat causes swelling, which is the last thing you want to do.

Can HIV be transmitted if semen got underneath a fingernail? In otherwords, is the tissue underneath the fingernail vulnerable to passing HIV into the blood stream?

Do you think the virus will transfer from my hand to zipper to then underneath my fingernail? Is it possible to get underneath the fingernail from a small metal zipper?

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

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? I did use the bathroom and with the same hand I pulled up my zipper and then in seconds used the underneath of my fingernail very firmly to secure it without washing my hands, very paranoid I spread the virus to my zipper then to the underneath of my fingernail.

I don't believe that it's lactose that causes that, otherwise just about everyone with lactose intolerance would have those marks. I've heard of people with Celiac getting those streaks in the teeth, because that was one of the ways my nephew's parents discovered he had Celiac. He can't have gluten or dairy either one, which is normally the issue with Celiac.

It can also be a symptom of heart problems. But having HCV for 20+ years I am curious, if anyone else noticed this happening to them?

1. If the technician have a dried blood in my car and my fingernail hit or touches the blood and used the same fingernail to scratch my pimple rash...Do you think this is hcv transmission? Higk Risk, Low Risk Or No Risk? Begging for your merciful answer..My anxiety is killing me...

I had LASIK eye surgery on may 1st today I was cutting the grass and get poked right in the eye by a branch. My vision went blurry for 5 seconds and my eye is throbbing and blood shot. Vision is still a hazy blurr( was perfect prior) I called the doctor and he said to sleep on it and see how it is in the am. Do you think I dislodged my flap? How sturdy is the flap from over 3 weeks ago? What have you seen from your patients of this happening ?

t let the cat in there. While we had the baby in the living room we kept a close eye on her for the first few weeks. They say because of the smell of milk cats tend to suffocate the baby.

hey. i've been having pvc's and my doctor put me on toprol XL 25 mg/day and they stopped for awhile and i weaned myself off the toprol. needless to say, the pvc's came back 3 weeks later. i also noticed lately that my fingernail beds are really pale but at the end behing the white part it is a dark pink. does anybody else notice this? i know that nails can give clues to health problems and i read that it can be related to heart problems.

Now the fingernail has a small hole in it and the nail felt soft. He is physically fine and there is no pain in the indicated finger. Please advise.

Could this be a type of fingernail material growing from the scalp? The physical consistency of this 'hair' strongly resembles that of a fingernail. Extensive searching the net has found nothing. Surely my daughter is not the only case like this. I read about keratin, but it seems the keratin in hair and nails is the same.

This morning i accidently poked myself in my eye. My nail is quite long and im now in a lot of pain. opening my eye really hurts and it has just been streaming with tears for the last 2 hours. making it really hard to open every few minutes. My other eye is very lazy and i can barely see out of it. is there anything i can do to help my eye as i work with computers.

i've had e.d. problems for the past 7 years or so, due to anxiety, diabetes (controlled) and medication.....usually e.d. drugs had helped... about a year ago, after taking viagra my erection was different........ it seems the tip curved down......like my erection isnt straight anymore.... the best way i can explain is if i stick my forefinger out, the joint right above fingernail is bent down......can this be nerve damage?
