Doctor can examine: Her pediatrician can examine in-person. Sometimes the doctor will conclude that nothing needs to be done. Other times the blood underneath the nail can be drained to relieve pain (it usually helps a lot). Occasionally, the finger will be crooked due to damage to bones, ligaments, or tendons, and need evaluation by a hand surgeon. If symptoms are mild, a video consultation may suffice.
