702286 tn?1239011660 I was working with a Dremel tool making jewelry. I laid down for a while because the tip of my finger hurt so bad. Like a fool I put ice on it. Then went to bed with a hot pack. As I laid there I could feel the infection draw through my finger into my hands and down my arm. I turned on the light. Look and saw the red line and knew I was in deep S..t. After a very long night in the ER, I was moved to the heart hosp because I was now in heart issues.
Avatar n tn Hi, making it short and quick. My finger tip is swollen, red, tender, and a bit discolored. Could it be a ingrown nail or a infection? If so can it be treated at home? If so what should I do? Thank you in advance.
Avatar f tn about 3 days ago i noticed a slight tingle and redness in my right middle finger, and since then its got worse. the part around my nail has completely swollen and is really red. its sore to touch i can't put pressure on that part of my finger, i have also noticed little red dots around my hand and up that middle finger. it almost looks like a blister, the skin is stretched and shinny, but i literally have no idea what it could be.
Avatar m tn A felon is a fingertip abscess deep in the palm side of the finger. It usually is caused by bacterial infection, but a herpes virus called herpetic whitlow and, more rarely, fungi also can cause felons. In herpetic whitlow, small bubble-like cysts on the skin, called vesicles, and repeated episodes are there which distinguish it from bacterial or fungal infection. It is less likely to be the cause in your sister’s case. Hence it can either be bacterial or fungal infection.
Avatar m tn Ok so about 3/4 weeks ago I was chewing food and felt a pain on my tooth/gum area and noticed a white patch/blotch. It was only that time that hurt because the food was rubbing right on the area. After that I forgot about it and went on about my business. Today I remembered and looked in my mouth and saw the same white patch/blotch still there. It doesn't hurt only when I slipped and scraped it with my finger nail. It is soft, and almost pliable like you can move it side to side.
Avatar n tn It actually seemed like it was gone for about 10 days then all of a sudden it was back. It has stayed mainly at the tip of my middle finger but has gone as far as the first joint. It is starting to really freak me out so if anyone has had anything like this and has a solution, I would be appreciative.
Avatar n tn thank you for your input I have this small hard bump on my middle finger first bend from the nail It is reddish around the bottom, whitish on top These carbunkles ?? reoccur from one finger to another and eventually go away, no pus or other fluid , just disappear. My doctor says to leave them alone and they will disappear. which they do. my mother had them also at my age (77) any info.?
Avatar n tn Yes. Abscesses will often clear up on their own, but in the mouth region, there's a serious danger of tooth loss. You can call around and see if there's some sort of low/ no cost vet care in your area. Depending on what government programs you're on, you'd be eligible.
Avatar m tn i have a orange brown rust color spot on the inside tip of my index finger on my right hand just notice it this morning and wont wash off
Avatar f tn Ive been having strange symptoms over the past couple years with are fatigue, body aches & pains not to severe though, sometimes dizziness, tip of the right side of tongue twitching, right eye twithing whenever I squeeze me eyes shut, sensitive to cold weather.
Avatar m tn I've known for a while that herpes on the finger is possible. I had one cold sore on my mouth 12 years ago (not sexually transmitted, as I was a kid) and to my knowledge, I don't have any genital herpes (knock on wood). This morning I woke up with a really itchy ring finger, right around the tip. It didn't hurt at all, no "tingling" (other than the itching) and no real redness...it just looks like all my other fingers.
Avatar f tn I went to the doctor for an infected finger. He drained the abscess and took a culture. The culture came back Anaerobic Growth, Light Actinomyces turicensis. Does anyone know what this is? Will I need antibiotics?
Avatar f tn While washing my face a few days ago, I felt a hard lump under my skin near (under) my right nostril. It is not painful at all, is immobile and is about the size of the tip of my pinky finger. I had my GP look at it, and she said if it were an abscess, it would be painful. She thought it may be a calcium deposit, and to be on the safe side, she had me have x-rays done of my sinuses, with the reason being due to a suspicious palpable mass.
Avatar f tn I don't no wot causes it but my I'm in pain. I was told to get bicarbonate soda mix into a paste spread it on covering the abscess an it will draw it. did tht it's still thr. so much pain this is my 2nd one I've had since being pregnant but I've had 2 at one time. hurts like he'll get shooting pains threw it too jesus I could scream with it ladies kills too touch it.
Avatar f tn I usually rest my pencil on my ring finger while writing and i write really fast and tend to press really hard. throughout the years, the size of this bump has gradually increased. it’s nothing like fluids inside , it’s more like as if my bone is popping out and my finger just looks very uneven. i tried massaging it and it makes it softer but is there a faster solution?
Avatar f tn But I still have numbness in the pinky finger and it feels cold compared to other 3. Also tip of the pinky finger hurts a lot and I see a tiny red spot on the nail. What exactly is going on? I have sensation and i can also move that finger. Its just the tip that hurts.
Avatar n tn My right elbow has been very sore for about a month now, when i lift anything it hurts all the way down to my wrist, two days ago the tip of my elbow became very sore and now has a bump on the tip that is about quarter size, i popped it and it was a little puss bump, it seems to be getting bigger in size and more sore.
Avatar n tn i cant see it wen i look in mirror only feel it wen finger is rubbed along the top of my left side of my gums an wen i press down on my left cheek
Avatar f tn Gyan Mudra Gyan mudra is a simple hand gesture that involves touching the tip of the thumb to the tip of the index finger while keeping the other fingers straight. This mudra is believed to stimulate the root chakra, which is associated with the pancreas, the organ responsible for producing insulin. Regular practice of Gyan mudra is said to improve insulin production and regulate blood sugar levels.
Avatar m tn Main symptoms were from the 2 to 3 week time frame, the intense night sweats, loss of apettite/weight loss, pimples developing over back, abscess flaring up. Lymph node was swollen on right groin near the abscess, constant pain in the back of the head in neck, maybe a gland there. But not really flu symptoms I would say, mild fever especially. Anyway i know the only answer will come when I get tested.
Avatar m tn Hi Teak, My GP gave me antibiotic for the abscess on Jan 6th and my fever went away on Jan 9th. since then I have no fever. But my armpits are sore now but no solid lumps I can feel, and the left groin lymph node pain is still there but getting better day by day. These are the events: 12/21 - 4 times protected sex with a prostitute in India in one night.
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).
