ORF

ORF is a virus infection of the skin contracted from sheep and goats. It is characterized by a small, firm, red or reddish-blue lump enlarges to form a flat-topped, blood-tinged pustule or blister. They occur most commonly on the fingers, hands or forearms but can appear on the face. Red streaks up the lymph channels with enlargement of the lymph glands on the inner side of the elbow and/or under the arm are common. No specific treatment is necessary in most cases.
