Last night my 5yo DS appeared when I was going to bed, saying his finger hurt. When I looked, I found a blister, about the size of a 1p on his thumb, coming away from the edge of his nail.
I'm baffled about this - there have been no 'incidents' that I am aware of that might have caused it through heat or friction - and surely he would have mentioned it at bedtime? It's obviously causing discomfort given how many times he woke me last night, and he says it's itchy too.
Does anyone have any ideas what might have caused this? I'm sort of thinking it must be a contact allergy sort of thing, but again no idea to what.
And beyond covering it, should I be doing anything else in terms of treatment?
