A member asked:

My 6 yo daughter has what looks like some sort of puss filled wart? or spot? on the end of 3 or 4 of her fingers (on the top near nail base) any idea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ouch!: That sounds distinctly painful. It sounds like paronychias. Here's is a description including treatment from the US National Institute of Health: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001444.htm (hint: she may need antibiotics).
