Swollen and pus in finger

2018-07-15 09:00:29
In Right hand finger near by nails it is swollen and i can feel puss inside that from few days. Recently i met with an accident nearly 2 or 2.5 months before and my right hand bone was broken. I got titanium plate implant in my right hand. After that i got plastered than later on my right hand swollen. I thought it 's because of my bone is broken and it will go after sometime but now after even 2 months avery other part swollen is gone now but near by nails i have swollen and from 1-2 days i can feel pus coming from in between nail and skin in right hand. Which doctor should i consult ? General physician or orthopedist? Is it because of bone fracture or something else it is ?

This is most likely paronychia. Please consult a good Plastic Surgeon nearby. He is always the best person to go to in case of any hand surgery requirements. Dr Saumya Nayak (Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, Luxor Hospital, Baroda Gujarat)
