What Causes Red Spot On Finger In 2 Months Old?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My baby boy is almost 2 months old and has a with spot on the tip of his fingernail on his little finger. When I touch it it does not seem as if he is in pain. However, it looks as if redness is increasing under the nail itself, and around it. IWhen I took him to the doctor, a week ago, he said it was a with spot that he will outgrow. I am still concerned.

redness under nail in 2 months kid is due to hypoplastic nails which are delicate and soft and very mild injury to nail bed might cause redness.. it does not have pain or swelling.. it will subside by itself, need not to be worried.
