Infection symptoms finger tip and nails
This is in regards to an infection of sorts which happened post I injured the fore finger on right hand while working on my kids toy. Initially I felt something had gone inside and after consulting my family doctor, she proposed soaking the finger in warm water with salt and turmeric. It helped with the pain. The pain has subsided but now I can see the pus to be concentrated on the right side of the finger. Require help around which kind of doctor I should seek for diagnosis and medical support.
Note: the yellow colour on the finger is due to recent application of turmeric.
