A member asked:

My 6yr old son, his index tip of his finger is severly swollen. it is green on nail and.left side, white, and really red all around the top what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ingrown nail: Sounds like he has an infected ingrown fingernail. This needs to be seen today by his doctor for evaluation - he likely needs antibiotics and/or part removal of the nail. Until see doc, soak hand at least 10 minutes every hour in room temperature water with or without epsom salts.
