How Can A Cyst Under The Fingernail Be Treated?
I had a small pink mole , was wearing fake fingernails scratched while asleep, after 3 weeks would crust and break away, saw my dr he squeezed it , come home looked like a blood blister. Scabs gets black comes off bleeds repeats, saw dr last week, been 3 months, he says it is now a cyst, it still bleeds and is attached like a dime sized skin tag, painful to touch. How do I get it to heal?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If it is a cyst, you would have to get it removed by a small procedure under local anesthesia which your doctor will guide you. If left untreated it will keep on weeping and cause you discomfort.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
