Dai Zhi (Substitute Finger Disease), initially presents with swelling. Subsequently, pain occurs, but the skin color is not dark. This is due to pus accumulation at the edge of the nail. In severe cases, the nails may all fall off. This is referred to as Dai Zhi disease. It is called "Dai" (substitute/change) because it affects only one end of the finger; thus, the finger first exhibits redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which coagulate into pus, and in extreme cases, the nails detach. The world sometimes refers to this as Lun Zhi (Sunken Finger) or Dai Jia (Substitute Nail), but they are essentially the same condition.
