question:Hello, my dad has for about 10 years had this finger infection, what is odd is it appears once a year, and always near the month of may. This time it seems to be swelling a lot more than normal and we are concerned. He went to the doctor and she was sort of pondering it could be a sign of gout, so i figured this would b a logical place to post! The finger is swollen,reddish and has 4 small black dots near the finger tip,and he also has a red vein going up his arm. picture bellow I really appreciate any help!
answer:HiThanks for your query at HCM.I would suggest you to visit an orthopedic surgeon to rule out gout, rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis. If any pus then get it drained out and tested for gram staining and culture sensitivity testing for bacterial infections. Treatment is advised based on the results. Get complete haemogram, ESR, RA factor, blood sugar and uric acid levels done.Hope I answered your queryDr Sheetal Verma

question:I got onto a 4 wheeler the other day and a metal bar scraped the back of my calf. It was scaped pretty bad and was tender for about a week very soon after now there is a few lumps "knots" throughout the area where the scrape occured and the knots are tender to the touch. Any idea what this could be and will it go away?
answer:Hi,From history it seems that there might be having some soft tissue infection followed by metal bar injury.You might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.Clean local part with warm water and apply antibiotic cream.ok and take care.
