What Causes Nail Infection After Recovering From Hand, Foot And Mouth Disease?
I am 61 yrs old female. I got hand.foot mouth about a month ago it was very bad I had doctors in New Hampshire look at it I ended up in Boston at one of the major hospital. Now my finger nails are (Iwould call it dying) they are changing colors and coming away from the nail bed. Do you think it is related.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a fibger infection. Some suggestion that I can give to you are: -Apply warm compresses or soak the finger in warm, soapy water for 10 to 20 minutes, at least twice a day. -Apply antibiotic or cream. -Keep the infected area covered with a sterile bandage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
