What Causes Blood Filled Blisters Around The Finger Nails?
Several months ago, small blood blisters began appearing beside my fingernails. Not UNDER them, but beside them. Many aren t even blood blisters, and emit white fluid when I pierce them with a needle. Also, after piercing them, the pain is relieved entirely, as if they were infected. What causes this and what can be done? Thank you.
