Infected finger.
I have an infected finger, caused by a infected hangnail I believe. I'm a nail biter and I pick my nails frequently. I did seek treatment and am on antibiotics but my finger recently filled with noticable pus this morning and kept getting bigger thought the day. Is this something now I have to have drained? My dr wasn't available right away so I have about a week wait to seek further follow up.
