What Causes Pain Under The Finger Nails?
Hi, I am curious about a pain that I have under my fingernails (currently middle finger and pinky, usually pinky or ring finger). It happens regularly (maybe 2 times a month) where I wake up with one or two fingers that hurt. It feels like there is pressure and the pain is most intense when I push on the fingernail. It s nothing terrible but I am very curious about what it is and if I can do something about it! Thanks, Lisa

Hello,
It may nail bed infection or in few patients glomus tumor. other possibilities like psychological feeling or insufficient keratin formation etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your physician nearby then he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
