Help me, it hurts!!?


Question:
what causes the skin along your fingernail to become swollen, red and extremely painful? and how do you make the pain go away? thanks!

Answers:
. It could be 3-4 things. If you put stuff on the fingernail, it might be allergic with your nearby skin.
"...-- Paronychia is a skin infection around a fingernail that is often caused by tearing a hangnail or cuticle. If the skin is broken, bacteria or fungi can gather and cause a painful infection.

The University of Michigan Health System says that signs of an infection include redness, swelling, pain and irritation at the site. After a few days, pus or other discharge may seep from the wound.
Bacterial infections are treated with an antibiotic, while fungal infections are treated with an anti-fungal cream. "
Check out the WrongDiagnosis site: "...Eosinophil infiltration of the skin, evidence of eosinophil degranulation in the skin, and the presence of blood and bone marrow eosinophilia suggest that the eosinophil is the cause of the clinical manifestations." . Contact dermatitist?
.... I'd go see a dermatologist . .NOW .
See a doctor. It could be a fungal issue that will need treatment. If you chew on your cuticles this could also cause the symptoms and invite infections.
