Question:
Answers:
you need to go to the doctor and get it cleaned out..they may even put you on antibiotics
If it is a blister pop it with a sterile needle and clean it with rubbing alcohol and neosporin
You may need to drill a hole in it to let the pressure release. Then it can heal. Good luck!
Cut your thumb off. Just kidding, if I were you I'd go to the doctor and get it checked out, sounds like an infection. Good luck
Just gently open it with a sterile pin or needle and the puss will come out. That's why's it red and sore cuz it's got no where to go.
Sterilize a needle by sticking it in the fire . Then keep piercing the pus with the needle and it will ooze right on out. then clean area with peroxide.
If you don't have a fever you can probably see your doctor or go to an urgent care. If you have a fever you may want to go to the ER. They can open and clean it thoroughly while prescribing appropriate medications if needed.
Soak it in hot water and epsom salt.this helps draw poisons.
