Hi ladies,
My little man has green/yellow pus coming out of a fingernail! The nail in that area looked slightly ingrown (but not really, kind of looked more like a hangnail with lots of excess skin growing around). It wasn't like that last weekend when I clipped his nails, and I went to clip his nails today and saw that it was slightly off in color and looked strange in general. So I pushed the skin to the side a bit to see if I could clip the excess (dead) skin and nail, and pus just came shooting out!
Needless to say, I called the doctor right away and he has an appointment at 4:15 (1.5 hours from now).
Has this happened to anyone else? I'm sure it's no big deal but it caught me off guard! He'll likely need antibiotics I'm guessing? I just cleaned the area with alcohol and now it looks quite swollen!
Pictures: (note first pic, he has food on his hands, he just ate apricots and peas for lunch)
