Pimple like spot behind a fingernail \u0026 a very hot \u0026 painful finger? this is the 2nd finger in a week.

Finger infection: This can be a very important problem, because there are various infections around the nail which need to be treated immediately. Some of these which are bacterial infections are actually called "felons" by dermatologists. But there are many possibilities for this, and i believe that you should see the dermatologist immediately. We take care of skin hair and nails.
