Is Paronychia Infection Common In Babies?
When my son was a month old he had paranychia because I accident cut his finger while cutting his nails and it got infected. I just noticed another infection on his finger that is green, just like when he had paranychia before.. Only I haven t accident cut him. Is it common to get these infections on babies?

Hi...it is not common for babies to get infections like this. He definitely needs evaluation for immunodeficiency. I would have been suggesting even more if I had known point like his current age/ history of any serious infections other than this and his growth and development.
