    Question Ingrown Fingernail

    I've just noticed that DS (6 months) has an ingrown fingernail on his left-ring finger.

    What can I put on it to make it better? It's really bright red and its starting to look as if puss is collecting near the top of the nail. He complains when I touch it.

    Any ideas??

    TIA

    No idea. I'd probably go along to a doctor, I don't think it'd be a situation where it can be fixed with cream or something. I imagine a doctor could numb the area before sorting it out.

    I was afraid of that Poor thing, I gave him some Panadol for the pain and he is sleeping soundly atm. I'll see how it looks in the morning, a bit to late now to go to the dr.

    Thank you
