Common Questions and Answers about Finger swollen and infected
finger
My fingers normally get infected whenever I pull out a hangnail, but now my finger has gotten infected and I am concerned. It is red and swollen at the tip like normal, but in addition my entire finger is swollen to the point where it is visibly larger than the same finger on my other hand. It also hurts the infected area when I bend it more than a little bit or straighten it, so I have been keeping it in the slightly bent position that does not cause pain for most o today and yesterday.
So the first day i started having pain in my middle finger of my right hand and i thought nothing of it as each day went by it started to swell more and more now there is a huge bump on my finger that hurts if i move or touch it against anything. then today i got a similar bump on my big toe on my right foot what could this be?
Was it a metal hook? You might need a tetnus shot if you can't remember when your last one was. If it doesn't look infected you're probably okay, but 3 weeks is a while for it to still be swollen and tender...you may want to just call your doctor and ask him if he wants you to come in. Better safe than sorry!
In addition now ( 4 weeks after the lancet incident) I am experiencing a sore throat and my lypmnodes above my collarbone seem swollen and also the one in my groin area. Can I lancet transmit HIV? Could they have purposely infected me with HIV and not told me anything about it? Was I at risk of HIV?
At first it seemed like just the middle joint, now it is entire finger. It is noticeably swollen compared to my other fingers. It hurts all the time, but especially if pressed on or accidentally pressed when doing activity like turning door knob,etc. I saw doc over a month ago who did X-rays and said they looked normal. He said cause may be unknown and will subside on own?
I cut my finger (on the knuckle) some weeks back, My entire finger became swollen, with a red bump where the cut is, and both sides of the knuckle also swollen, with there being a small red rash at the base of the finger. It hurts whenever there is pressure on the finger or when I bend it.
I went to the doctor's last week and he said it was an infection of the cut and prescribed a week-long course of flucloxacillin which I have been following and is due to end tomorrow.
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?

Right now, behind both of my knees are swollen. The bump is about the size of a golf ball and it has mild pain and a little numbness down my leg. I looked it up and all that comes up are bakers cysts, but I know there are lymph nodes behind there as well. Also, i have noticed white spots show up on my left arm. There are about 5 white spots in one area by my wrist and a few scattered on my arm and my other arm. Also, noticed some on my legs, but not many.
you May get infected with bacteria. You probably should go to doctor. If you do nothing then your finger bone could infected. Then they'll have to cut your finger bone. Just go to doctor, and it's good idea to test HIV.

I have this problem with my nail, right hand middle finger, it was infected by fungus (That’s what Doctor said) maybe 6 years back, it was itchy and pus all over the finger, swollen with swollen nailbed and nail growing very rough or rigid mass over the bed with pale yellow. Treated for fungal infection with local ointment and antibiotics, and by maybe 1year, most of the symptoms went away, with healthy finger.
Hi there- have had a swollen finger for about four days- no injury. been taking mobic and tylenol arthritis . not much improvement. went to dr. today and he prescribed me prednisione. but my bp was high and that was kind of upsetting. can an arthritic flare, if thats what it is, make your bp jump? thanks.
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.
All I did was insert my finger into her vagina and after that I realized that I had a cut or a wound in that finger. That finger was not bleeding but I could see the flesh underneath the skin. The cut was 2 mm. I did a HIV test of fourth generation (HIV duo test) on January 25 and it was negative.
However, yesterday I had a sore throat and cold and today I have cold and a fever of 37.7. I have no rash or swollen lymph nodes (I think).
Thanks for that. I have had HSV infections too over many years and the Chamomile Oil has been mainstay in the treatment of it. I have to use Aciclovir tablets as a general rule to suppress the virus and when it does flare up the chamomile oil is top of the list.
The Oil has had a bigger effect on my finger problem than the Baclofen in my present infection.
