hello i have a question about my finger its important my middle finger is swollen throbbin itching a lil and painfull but i have no cuts?

Question

How do I get rid of my swollen finger from last nights mosquitos? Itches a lot too!

Answer 1

Throbbing finger: If you finger is swollen and throbbing with no obvious cut you should see your doctor to have your uric acid checked to rule out gout

Answer 2

Infection: So what you describe could be anything. But it could be infection ( cellulitis) which can be concerning - especially if it's throbbing. Did u hurt it? Any splinter? Any animal bite? If it's red, tender, painful, has any drainage. It needs to be seen by a health care provider, sooner.

Answer 3

Things to consider. : Your son is 11 years of age and he is due to have a tetanus booster at this age. As for the shin cut, hopefully it was cleaned with hydrogen peroxide and treated with an antibiotic ointment. The best thing to do is to schedule an appointment with his pediatrician or family physician to get his shot and check on his cut.

Answer 4

Clean it well: Your son likely had a tetanus booster at 4-5 or before school entry which should provide adequate basic protection.U can call dr in am & verify (you have ~ 24hrs.) if he was not kneeling in the dirt when cut he is at lower risk.Clean out the cut with soap & water & monitor for swelling, redness or discharge. Have checked if these become troublesome.

Answer 5

Pinched nerve: Pinched nerve at the wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome) is a common cause for such symptoms. However other causes of peripheral neuropathy should be considered and ruled out by history, physical exam and some blood tests. Diabetes, thyroid disease and some medications are common causes. I suggest you discuss with your pcp.

Answer 6

Nerve compression.: Numbness and tingling in the hands is usually caused by nerve compression. The nerve can be compressed in the neck, the extremity or both. Your symptoms are consistent with carpal tunnel syndrome (cts). Cts is due to median nerve compression at the wrist, causing numbness/tingling in the thumb, index, long and 1/2 of the ring finger. Cubital tunnel syndrome affects the other fingers in the hand.

Answer 7

Dermatitis: You probably developed a dermatitis, which is a skin rash from excessive moisture to the top of the foot. You may want to try an over the counter cortisone cream. If this does not eradicate the problem, see your podiatrist.

Answer 8

Insect bites: Most likely insect bites keep clean, use antiseptic, don't scratch and watch for infection.

Answer 9

Allergic reaction: It is most likely an allergic reaction to a chemical or the grass itself.

Answer 10

Carpal tunnel: Overuse and abuse r the most common cause at this age to cause the pain/ numbness. Try an ace wrap n also if u type a lot txt msging computer typing then cut that down. If no improvement then see ur doc.

Answer 11

Yes: Just as it retains its bones and blood vessels the donor skin remains. Therefore the hand will retain the same fingerprints.
