I thought i jarred my left hand pinky but it seems alot worse. A week later, and after icing the area the distal phalanx is still extremely red, and hot and tingling. My whole pinky is still very swallon and hard to straighten. What does this sound like to you? and should i get it examined further?
Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to parochial which is a nail infection. I suggest using cold compresses for local application. I also suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the inflammation. Furthermore, I recommend using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Newsprint cream. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
