These injuries sometimes require surgery to reattach the damaged muscle and tendon. An x-ray may be helpful to rule out a fracture or dislocation as the cause of pain.
The most likely cause is an airborne bacteria called Serratia Marcescens. This bacteria is common and generally grows in damp conditions such as those found in bathrooms and kitchens. Serratia produces a pinkish film on surfaces that are regularly moist and subject to humid conditions.he most likely cause is an airborne bacteria called Serratia Marcescens.
