What Causes Redness On Fingertips Of Child?
Hello. I noticed today that my son s fingertips, he is 7, ( all of them besides thumbs) are red. He said it doesn t hurt, but I am worried. In last few days we were at the pool and I don t know if he scrached them going out of the pool or it is something I should worry about.

Hello,
It could be inflammation or some minor abrasion. You can apply topical calamine lotion over that.
If redness more than anti inflammatory drug course can be given. It would be great if you can attach photo of lesion to comment further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
