What the hell is this?!? Baby’s Finger help!

[Crispysausagerolls]

Posting for traffic - just noticed this on baby’s finger!! What is it?! Blister?! Isn’t raised and has a green dot in the middle I am not sure what to do (PFB)

Is the finger more red than it was yesterday?

No, exactly the same

It’s gone kind of black I am not sure if this is good or bad. I also now think it’s redder

If the redness has increased then I’d say it needs antibiotics.

Jesus Christ showed new pic to GP who told us to go to a and e. 2 hour wait there to be told they can’t do anything.

So what do they say it is?

^ Is it a blood blister?

Can't do anything? Huh? Antibiotics?

Are you putting any antiseptic on it whilst “no one does anything”? My son used to get infections around his thumb nails and I used to have to keep a supply of liquid TCP to regularly apply before getting in to see our GP. He got the infections regularly enough for me to stop going to the GP and just use the TCP instead as it cleared it really quickly.

It seems to have drained in the bath or something as now the blister is flat and open. HURRAH!

A and e didn’t say what it was! And didn’t want to give antibiotics honestly what is the bloody point - it’s not like I didn’t ask the GP who sent me there 🙄

MN advice has been vastly superior to the medical professionals lol

That sounds about right OP. Glad it's drained and is getting better.

Looks like an infection. Possible splinter but can be caused by being bitten and sucked.

This used to happen to my friends little one when she cut the nail too short. It looks just like that
