How to reduce redness and swelling on injured finger?
Patient's Query
My sons finger got caught in the door after 1 week under his cuticle it was oozing with puss, 3 weeks later the nail is looking scaly and the cuticle are is swollen. Doctors have seen it and said it’s not infected. He uses his affected finger and isn’t in pain. However the nail looks painful. What can I do to reduces the swelling and redness? I am currently using fusidic acid antibiotic cream but I don’t notice a difference. Is there any creams or any suggestions you may have? Thank you!
Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal
As your son isn't experiencing pain, it suggests that the injury isn't severe. Swelling and redness can result from irritation or a mild inflammation. To help reduce these symptoms, you might try warm soaks with mild soap and water, followed by gentle application of a moisturizing cream. Avoid using fusidic acid if it's not making a noticeable difference. If the condition continues or worsens, it’s best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.
