Partial people experience pain in the ring finger of their right hand in daily life. This pain is highly likely to be due to subcutaneous purulent infection, which is generally related to puncture wounds. The puncture wound induces Staphylococcus aureus, eventually forming a high-level abscess cavity that can compress the phalanx, leading to ischemia, necrosis of the finger, and even osteomyelitis. Proper hygiene and care of the affected area is important to reduce the occurrence of infection.
What causes pain in the ring finger of the right hand? Pain in the ring finger of the right hand is often caused by local soft tissue injury due to trauma, namely paronychia. Patients will have obvious local pain symptoms, accompanied by fever. In the acute phase, there will be local congestion and edema, and severe cases may form a distinct abscess cavity with a sense of fluctuation. Diabetic patients may experience symptoms of secondary infection. If it is an underlying condition, they may also experience issues such as reduced immune function and local soft tissue damage, which may lead to secondary infection. Surgical drainage may be necessary in severe cases. Additionally, attention should be paid to local hygiene and monitoring of blood sugar levels in daily life.
Significant manifestations of pain in the ring finger of the right hand:
1. In the initial stage, there is a needle-like pain at the fingertip, followed by tissue swelling, increased pressure, and severe pain.
2. When the digital artery is compressed, the pain turns into throbbing pain, which intensifies when the affected limb is lowered. The severe pain can make the patient agitated and unable to sleep at night.
3. Systemic symptoms such as fever may also occur.
4. In the later stage, some patients may experience reduced pain in the fingertip due to compression of nerve endings and nutritional disorders, resulting in paralysis. The skin may turn from red to white, indicating local necrosis, often leading to delayed wound healing.
