Suggest Treatment For Blisters On Fingers

Posted on Thu, 27 Aug 2015

Question: Hi. I'm XXXX - 59 y.o. healthy male. I pricked my finger about 6 months ago ... I think it was from a spikey bit of a plant, while gardening. It created a blister-like thing on my finger which has not gone away since. I mentioned it to my doc ages ago, who was reluctant to XXXXXXX it, and suggested I try applying magnoplasm to draw out any particle. That didn't work, nor have a range of antiseptic creams. It's only small, but annoying. I can squish it and it seems to push the clear fluid underground, and flatten the blister, but it always comes back. It occasionally gets a bit reddish looking, but usually not.

Epidermoid cyst

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Welcome and thanks for your query.
It is most likely to be an epidermoid cyst.
The most effective treatment for it is excision of the lesion and you could see a surgeon or a doctor who will do it for you.
