Purulent finger inflammation

Purulent finger inflammation is a subcutaneous purulent infection that occurs at the terminal segment of the finger. Because of infection, the entire finger swell is highly swollen and looks like a snake's head. Because the subcutaneous tissues of the fingers are very tightly packed, the tissues are very swollen from the beginning of the infection. At the same time, the intraluminal tension is significantly increased, the pain is severe, and the blood supply to the distal phalanx is blocked. The local symptoms are severe in the early stage of the disease; it is difficult to detect the fluctuating feeling in the infected area after the abscess is formed, which is an important feature of the disease.
