Herpetic whitlow--a non-surgical infection of the hand.
Herpetic whitlow, or herpes simplex infection of the fingertips, is a medical illness which responds unfavorably to surgical management. If left to its own course, this angry-appearing lesion will disappear with 3 to 4 weeks-with no residual damage.
