Thank you, will see my Dr. this week.
Hello,
It can be an infected cyst or herpetic whitlow. A herpetic whitlow is a lesion on a finger or thumb caused by the herpes simplex virus. In adults it is more common for the primary source to be the genital region, with a corresponding preponderance of HSV-2. Although it is a self-limited illness, topical antivirals, particularly topical acyclovir, have been shown to be effective in decreasing the duration of symptoms.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
