Index finger nail

Common Questions and Answers about Index finger nail

finger

Avatar f tn The soreness is over to the side in the soft part of the index finger between the first knuckle and the nail. It hurts if I type or if I press on it in anyway. It also throbs a little and feels hot. There is no detectable swelling or any sort of cyst of any type but the pain has become more bothersome over the last 24 hours. What could be causing this? Should I be worried? I wouldn't really be bothered except I am a guitarist and I don't want it to affect my playing.
Avatar f tn The middle finger lines are thicker and blurred, and the 2 toes, 2 little toes and index finger have thicker pigmentation than other nails. I biopsed a nail with not as much pigmentation as the ones mentioned above (my ring finger nail) .It was clear , Im 16 snd i had these from childhood (dont remember when they appeared). im also darlk skinned. Is there a need for a biopsy to check the blurred and wider pigmented nail?
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 m tn My index finger has chronic pain when it is exposed to cold temps. or if my circulation is lessened in that arm. It's just that finger and only at the finger nail, cuticle area. The feeling is similar to getting it smashed into something. Also, when no pain is present, if I hit it ever so slightly on something, it might as well have been smashed in a door, the feeling would be the same!
Avatar m tn The index finger is burned on the area near the nail bed including the nail itself, the burn is isolated to the right side of the nail and finger. My question being what will a Doctor do to ease my pain and help the healing process? I am worried being a college student with no medical coverage, that they will simply ask me to keep the wound clean, and give me pain medication, things I can do myself without accruing debt.
Avatar m tn I've been following Dr Edward Hook's replies to posting regarding transmission of HPV through open cuticle or hangnail underneath fingernails (since July 16, 2010 when a posting was made by 'dohdohdoh'). Followup question: Can I get HPV transmitted through underneath the finger nail? Background: I was fingering a woman known to have HPV. We were careful. No intercourse. No touching genitals. But I gave her two of my fingers in her vagina to please her.
Avatar m tn I got a human bite on my right index finger. I waited 5 days and only went to the doctor when I knew I had to. The doctor cut off the nail and drained the puss. He then put me on antibiotics. The finger still hurts but not as much. It looks like the finger is getting much better. However, this morning my right arm was sore but I didn't think anything of it. Now, the right side, and only the right side, of my face hurts. Are these related and is it bad if they are?
Avatar m tn My thumb and index finger are sorta peeling around the nail and I wonder if I am at risk of getting HIV.
Avatar f tn A couple days ago I noticed small brown spots between the back of my thumb and my index finger. I thought it was dirty at first but it wouldn't wash out. The next day another brown bruised like spot appeared but a little bit down from my index finger nail. It doesn't hurt or anything so should I be worried? The brown spots are only on my right hand. At first I thought it was age spots but I'm only 14 so how could that be possible?
Avatar m tn I dont believe i had any cuts or openings on my finger, it was on the side of my finger not near the nail. However about 2 days later the side, top part of my right index finger (the one that was touched) has had a bruised sensation only when you touch it for the past 6 days. Is this a normal predome symtpom for herpes or would i have gotten blisters by now. The fingers looks normal but is sore. I do have a bit of anxiety over these things so could that be the problem?
Avatar m tn I took out some gauze and used it to apply pressure to the wound with my index finger and thumb. So it was my index finger on top, then the gauze, then his cut finger, and then my thumb, if you saw it from top to bottom. His finger was bleeding profusely. Some blood may have soaked thru the gauze and come into contact with my finger, but I am not sure. After I had sorted him out, i looked at my index finger and noticed some peeled cuticles around the nail. They did not appear to be bleeding.
Avatar m tn i have hard, black brown color skin near lateral nail fold of right hand index finger which is painless(but sometimes can experience a small pain when the area pressed) and kindly check below link for image references. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uqBzaDS_R5NOkpUN1-oaEfgu0DFBopsY i don't have any reason for treatment other than ugly hard black skin on my index finger and small pain sometimes.
Avatar f tn Of course I could feel the vaginal fluid on my finger. I have always had this very minor wound (if I can call it that) in between my nail and the finger. I think the incident might have happened a year ago when I grabbed something and a sharp object got in between underneath the nail (kinda like when you get partially denailed) There was no blood and the wound has been sealed of course, but I worry that the fingertip still maintains very small cut that I cannot see with naked eye.
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 m tn I am a 21 year old female with no prior skin ailments with the exception of some mild teenage acne. approximately one month ago i noticed the skin on my left index finger appreared very dry so i began treating it with cuticle oil and heavy moisturizures. After a week of no noticible improvement, a friend suggested the possibility of fungal nail infection, although my nail was clear and growing normally. I used Dr. G's Clear Nail Antimicrobial Solution as directed (7 days, twice daily).
Avatar n tn ve been having increasingly frequent sharp, stabbing pain under my fingernail on my left index finger. It makes me wince every time. I also have a strange, semi-numb feeling on the palm side of that same fingertip. The fingernail looks nice and healthy. I've had a digital mucous cyst on my right index finger (which was removed surgically but is back almost as big). Both of these fingers have large bumps or swellings on them at the joint closest to the fingernail.
Avatar f tn d prefer if you have at least one finger (an index finger is best) without polish to get an accurate reading of your oxygen saturation. To know if your breathing is adequate or if you need to be put on oxygen. Not usually a problem with natural births but with interventions you need to be monitored more closely since interventions (induction, epidural, c-section, etc) can cause dangerous side effects.

Avatar n tn Hi I have a light grey line on index finger, I observed it 3-4 months back only and not sure it was previously there or not (probably not). You can view the picture of the nail on the link below: https://postimg.org/image/b6p6ewvbf/ Please let me know what you think. Thank you.
Avatar n tn Do you have numbness of the index finger along with the pain? if yes, it could be carpal tunnel syndrome as it involves index finger mainly. Another possibility is of Raynaud’s phenomenon which is constriction of the blood vessels of the fingers and toes. But it is accompanied by skin color changes. Apply ice compresses over the finger. You can also take OTC pain killers. They should help. Also get your blood sugar levels evaluated.
Avatar m tn So on the day of my wedding photo-shoot which was about 4 weeks ago, my left ring finger has a hang nail skin so I picked on it and it bled for a little bit, and the same time I noticed one of the stylist for us has a fresh cut that still bleeds on his index finger. Therefore, my question is that in case his blood from his wound comes into contact with my wound, then will that be a risk?
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 I have a relatively swollen index finger. It is a bit red at the base of the cuticle and this morning, found a green spot. I pushed on it and green pus came out. What does that mean? Infection? Can it spread through the rest of my finger? Please help!

Avatar f tn in both hands the thumb and the index finger have themselves and their cuticles bitten that they have started to grow abnormally and really ugly.. should i visit a doctor or just stop biting and wait.. Any advice would be highly appreciated..
Avatar m tn So this is how it happened. Got *** on my index finger. From manual stimulation. After that i cleaned it with some dry wipes. Then I washed my finger and all the hand with water from a bottle. Not fizzy, just normal water for approximately 40 seconds. After that I cleaned my hand with baby wipes, aka wet wipes for about 1 minute. I didn't cleaned myself superficially, did it vigourously, even underneath my nail.
