How To Heal Finger Lesion With Tentacle Like Features Protruding All Around In A 11 Years Old Child?
My 11 year old grandson developed a lesion on his finger. It has tentacle like features protruding all around it. He seems to have some discomfort in that area. Also, he can pull little worm-like fibers from it. It looks absolutely gross. We seem to think he has some sort of parasite living in there. My daughter has tried several at home treatments, including Neosporin, to no avail.

Exact diagnosis will depend on clinical examination. Suggest you to send us the clinical photograph for expert opinion.
