Lump on my daughters hand? Please help?!


Question: OMG! I will warn you, I'm an overprotective mother.
Ok, so my daughter is 2. She sucks her right thumb, and it often gets sore. Ok, so I noticed earlier. And her left hand is swollen up. All around her thumb is bright red (thought she'd been playing with my eldest daughters blusher until it wouldn't come off) and I can feel a lump at the base of her thumb. It's swollen and it must be bad coz it's swollen compared to the sucked one.
What is it? She's using her hand, but it's red and really hot to touch!

HELP!

She hasn't burnt it, or banged it that I know. I can't see a bite, but am driving myself mad!

It sounds as if your daughter has a skin infection - cellulitis. she will need antibiotics.

She might have bitten it, but then the bite mark faded away! Im sure its nothing to worry about, it will be ok! If the redness doesnt go away after awhile, see the gp

TAKE HER TO A DOCTOR

Now this is the story all about? how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air

In west philadelfia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys said "we're up in no good"
Started making trouble in? my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "you're moving with your auntie and uncle in bel-air"

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
Licensplate said "fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air

I pulled up to a? house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby "yo, home smell you later"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air
