My thumb is swollen, HELP!

You'll get better advice if you have medical insurance and call your medical advice line. It is free. Just call the 800# that's printed on the back of your insurance card.

It's not a matter of negativity. It's common sense...

Well unless you are a fan of losing your thumb and possibly much worse you need to see a doctor.

Im 18 and a junior in High School, maybe to you its "common sense", but for me its serious question.

I would go show your mom your thumb and tell her you need to see a doctor. My son is 13, and I'd want him to tell me if an injury was getting worse.

You should get it checked out. In your case the nail polish was probably the biggest mistake. You trapped whatever it is under your nail/skin.

Cellulitis of the thumb or a herpetic whitlow.

Get ye to an urgent care facility.

I wouldn't worry about it

Use it to your advantage and go hitchhiking.

As its posted under "Chit-chat, fun and games" banner - I think you should wait and see what other colors it will turn too...a rainbow be good.

Anyway when you bite your nails so short preferable polish color options shoud be translucent or natural colors. Green attract too much attention to "well bitten' nails. :flowerforyou:

Definitely go to the doctor! You don't want to end up sick or dead!!! Good luck!
