Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! I understand your concern, and would explain that these symptoms may be related to inflammation or infection. Does she have fevers? If she doesn t have fevers or any other symptoms (like numbness, hand swelling, etc), it can wait up to next week for a doctor consult. If she has fevers or other of the above mentioned symtoms, you should consult with the doctor for a careful physical examination and some lab blood tests (complete blood count, coagulation tests, PCR, sedimentation rate). A Doppler ultrasound may be needed to establish the diagnosis. Meanwhile, I recommend using locally an antibiotic ointment. Hope to have been helpful! Best regards, Dr. Iliri
