Lo's fingertip is extremely red and has been for several hours. No idea what happened. It isn't swollen at all. It may have a tiny bit of puss near the nail but I can't tell its so small. It doesn't seem to hurt him. I'm waiting on our nurse to call back but still worried. Anyone have any ideas what's up?!

Did you just cut his nail? Maybe a little infection? Or a bug bite?

my LO had something similar happen to his toe. it started out super red then a blister looking bump grew and then the blister turned into a hard lump. eventually the lump fell off. we took him to the doctor and he said it was a minor infection that would probably heal on it's own, but he prescribed a topical antibacterial cream that we didn't really use.
his toe is completely fine now...

Doe he suck that hand? Our LO loves to suck and has created little red spots like that on the ends of his favorite fingers.

@Smurfette: earlier this week I did but dont remember nicking him !
@jmarionsmith: glad your LO toe is ok !
@scg00387: he does ! He is 12 weeks old. I thought maybe that's what it was but figured it would go away by now !
