What Causes Recurring Blister On The Little Finger?

I have a small sore on my pinky finger that doesn t want to heal. I apply ozonol and it seems to heal but starts to swell a little , opens up and bleeds again. This cycle has been going on for 4 months. What could it be and what do I do to get this to heal and disappear ?

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have recurring blister on the little finger. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like angiomas , seborrheic keratosis , allergic , skin blistering disease , psoriasis , warts , chickenpox or injury . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , allergy test along with skin patch test to confirm the diagnosis Doctor will examine physical to check tenderness and consistency or take sample for lb test . Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis along with anti inflammatory , corticosteroid ointment , crotamiton or ivermectin . For now apply cold compresses , take over the counter anti histamine like benadryl twice a day and protect your skin from direct sunlight as it can also be caused by sun burn .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
