It looks like a burn blister to me - but I am no expert!

I hope you got Louis to the hospital for professional treatment CV and that he is okay today.

UPDATE

Just back from the doc’s and it is a burst blister that has been infected.

We have cream and bandage for it.

We have to take Louis back on Monday if it hasn’t healed.

Louis thinks it great as he didn’t go to nursery today!!!

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS AND ADVICE.

I hope Louis is going to be well even though it doesnt sound serious you never know. As other people mention it might be infected but you never know what a small scratch can cause.

CV I hope you took him to the doctor.

Oracle I can see where you are coming from...but he said that they dont have a doctor anywhere near him....so just he wanted to take an advice quickly until he could take him to the doctor.

Hope Louis is ok

Well this must be the first time you can see where I am coming from .. so I guess it must be a Cypriot mum (mum-to-be) thing

But he did not say there wasn't a doctor close by ...

URGENT MEDICAL ADVICE NEEDED FOR OUR SON

Can anyone in the medical profession advise us on a cut or possible bite to our son’s finger.

It came apparent 2 days ago after nursery school and tonight at 11.00hrs is as in the picture below.

ANY ADVICE PLEASE…

[Oracle]

I’m with Oracle on this one!

I can’t believe anybody could be so stupid as to take the photo, upload it to the site and seek advice from all and sundry on the board instead of just taking the child to a medical centre…

Even a medical professional couldn’t make a thorough diagnosis from a photo – that’s why they have hospitals and medical centres instead of people just sitting at computers waiting for patients to send pictures of their ailments…

Lastly CV, you have a foul mouth – shame on you talking to a lady in that way.

Ditto from me on Grumps above comments

Good advice CG and RB.

As you know Richard, septicemia can arise from the smallest of abrasions and can kill in hours ....

(I did the best I could to impart some sense of urgency and need for action, since he was worried enough that it had changed in nature over a few days but without saying something as alarming as septicemia can kill .... but I will never learn to keep my mouth shut when I am concerned about something )

[Get Real!]

As you know Richard, septicemia can arise from the smallest of abrasions and can kill in hours ....

“Septicemia can begin with spiking fevers, chills, rapid breathing, and rapid heart rate. The person looks very ill.”

It was pretty clear from the picture that it was a former blister and no other symptoms mentioned. Typical Cypriot panic manics!

That is true once it has developed ....

Prevention

Appropriate treatment of localized infections can prevent septicemia.

That's a great link btw
