A member asked:

I have severe very bad pain at the top of my right pinky finger, i can barely bump my pinky and the pain is to much?

Dr. Ajay Acharya answered

Paronychia...: Probably infection of the nail margin. Elevation, local and systemic antibiotic, will help.

I got hand foot mouth when I was 18. Since then Ive had similar symptoms about once a month for almost 3 years. It gets less severe as time moves on. Can it be hand foot mouth? Finger bumps, ulcers in mouth, chest pain, low fevers. Dormant sometimes?
