Finger swollen infection
Common Questions and Answers about Finger swollen infection
finger
I've recently seen the ring finger (4th finger) of my left hand become swollen at the finger pad and around the very sides near the fingernail (this was around four days ago).
The day after, it became larger and thus became painful, hard and uncomfortable.
It's difficult to curl it inwards, it hurts whenever I apply pressure on the swollen parts or try to stretch or curl it, it's strangely warm to the touch. I feel as if it about to burst on me.
Hello.
I have a small wound at the side if my nail. Its been days since i had it.. At first it was just a minor cut. But since i was a forest area i didnt have time to wash it thoroughly.. I plastered my finger and i find that it was so painful that i can't even touch it. I opened up my plaster and found out that there's some pus and the area is swollen. It looked like i have raw flesh sticking out and it sticks at my nail.
If it’s not treated, a finger pulp infection can cause a number of complications like spreading of the infection to the bone of the finger causing osteomyelitis, skin necrosis, septic arthritis and tenosynovitis (when the infection spreads to the sheath that surrounds the tendons in your finger). Hence my sincere suggestion would be to get it evaluated from a specialist and get the above mentioned treatment.
Hope that this information helps and hope that your sister will get better soon.
I cut my left hand at the knuckle of the 2nd finger and to the right of that, received a total of 9 stitches on 12/5/08. I went to have them removes a week later, was put on Keflex for 10 days, stitches stayed in for another week. I am suppose to get them out again tomorrow. The ones on the knuckle area are still very painful, red and swollen. If the stitches are removed tomorrow, with the redness, pain and swelling, is there a chance this will force the suture line open?
The time from the moment I entered the salon until my finger got cut was about 15 minutes. I am still super worried that I could have got HIV infection because of that. Now I got a small swollen gland, which makes me worry even more.
Can you please let me know if there was any chance that I got HIV from a used nail clipper? Also, does the swollen gland tell anything about HIV? Is it a HIV symptom?
I would be very grateful if you can help me with this!
Thanks a million!!!!
I have had swollen lymph nodes in my neck and im pretty sure the ones in the groin have swollen up to. Could I have caught a std if so which one is more likely or am I being paranoid about it? I have had a dodgy cough and felt tired and under the wether. I go home in 4 weeks should I get tested then or now?
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.
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.
t believe I had any cuts on my fingers but The next day I found out I had a soar swollen spot on my index finger! Some pus formed as well! I put some antibiotics cream on the finger and it's got better now!
Could this infection be due to an std? Which one?
Also yesterday I cut myself on a my other hand when I was trimming my nails ! I saw another guy today and we jerked off together! The cut wasn't fresh but it was still red.
It could be a nail bed infection, also known as paronychia. If left untreated it can progress to a more severe infection of the entire finger. If an abscess has formed it needs to be drained and you will be given antibiotics for the infection. You may need to consult your primary care physician who will examine you and initiate appropriate therapy.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
The infection can be due to Herpes Simplex virus 1 and 2 or due to bacterial infection. Symptoms include a swollen painful finger tip. Treatment is by antibiotic or antiviral therapy depending on the cause and there may also arise a need to drain it.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Hey today I had sex with my boyfriend and it was great but after I hurt. It want our 1 st time. But for the passed 2 weeks its been very hard to get him in I cry every time. And he has tried to finger me to loosen me up it hurts with just 1 finger. I felt to see how swollen I really was and I'm almost completely swollen shut!! Wat do I do ?!
I had a full std screening done post 14 days contact and everything came up negative apart from a water infection for which I had anti biotic treatment. I have been stressing out and I hope this is due to anxiety. A couple of days ago one my right toes has become swollen. The toe is also shiny. What should I do? Should I be concerned about HIV or herpes. my herpes test were negative at 6 weeks..
m confused because I cannot find any pictures that look like what I have, there are no white ***** lumps there is just a big single swollen red finger. They never prescribed anything else and said it would go away in a little bit. I do work at a market and my hands get dry and cracked all the time I figured I got something from touching people's hands when I gave them money. I did have a girlfriend for 7 months but I'm pretty sure she doesn't have herpes of any kind..
For the last six months I keep getting some sort of infection on my ring finger where my wedding bands are. It is a ring all the way around my finger that is red in color, itchy, sometimes there are clear fluid filled blisters, and then when it starts to heal it becomes dry and peels. I was told by my jeweler that it was a fungus and to put rubbing alcohol on it several times a day. That works but it keeps coming back and I am cleaning my rings regularly.
Hi
Differentials here may include dishydrosis and a fungal infection. Fungal infection involving the finger nails is referred to as onychomycosis and they may cause some changes on the finger nails. If discharge is present in the area, then you may have the discharge cultured. The results of the culture will help determine the causative organism. This will help guide treatment later on. Applying topical antifungal cream with corticosteroid preparation will be able to help.
Do you have an LLMD? I would ask him or her, they may switch your Lyme meds temporarily if they aren't a good match for what the PCP wants to give you or ask your PCP to talk to the LLMD and work together on it. I worked for doctors in another life and that was done often. Good luck.
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.
