A member asked:
On my thumb around my fingernail it hurts and in the palm of my hand it itches sometimes even burn what can it be doc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thumb pain: If there is associated redness around the thumb nail an infection called paranychia appears likely. Treat with warm soaks but if redness worsens some pus may have to be drained by a surgeon. The itchy or burning sensation in the palm is probably unrelated and if there is no associated rash, irritable superficial nerve endings, possibly from some activities, may be the cause.
