Nails infection?

last sunday i accidently had something under a fingernail, i removed that but since then its red and since yesterday theres pus coming out from under my fingernail. so is there something i can do to treat this infection? or i really need to see a doctor?Nails infection?
I think at this stage you just need to be sure that you keep it clean and probably dress it with a band aid and some alcohol a couple times a day. If it does get worse, or if the infection stay longer than a couple of days, set up a time to go see your doctor. You'll live...Nails infection?
If you don't fix this right away, you will lose your nail. ( at least as far back as the injury goes) Try soaking your nail in a little cup of hydrogen peroxide...then maybe stuff a little antibiotic lotion under there.(with a q-tip...maybe) Use a band-aid until the infection goes away...then let the air get to it, so it will heal. Good luck!
soak it good in warm water~


pour some peroxide on it~


fill the hole with neosporin~


cover finger tip with a bandage~


soak again~


see how it's looking~


repeat if necessary~


give it a chance to dry out well in between~


Happy, healthy fingernail~!~
Need to see a Dr. to get a antibiotic that will help.
You really need to see a doctor. Right now you can thoroughly clean the area and apply and antibiotic ointment. But, you need to see a doctor to avoid a blood infection. It is hard to efficiently clean a wound in that location. You probably could benefit from a course of antibiotics. Good health.
You can soak it in Epsom salt.





Or you can try this seemingly crazy concoction that actually does work:





Peel a small potato - scrape it so you get a liquidy pulp like mass of potato goo. Take a sterile needle and pop open the infected site if it is not already oozing. Pack this potato pulp around it. Wrap your finger with the potato pulp up with gauze or a handkerchief. Go to bed. When you wake up the next day, remove the wrapping and pulp. Your finger will be fine.





I know it sounds crazy, but I swear it works.
i would get a warm cup ful of water and add a capful of savlon to it and dip your finger in it for a minute morning and night drying it fully.





Keep doing this for a week and you'll see a result
