I have an infection on my right pointer finger - it does not apear to be around the nail but in the pad of the inside pointer finger. It started on Monday, got worse as the day went on, by bedtime it was throbbinh with pain, Today (wed) it is still swollen (twice the size of my pointer finger on left hand)and hot to the touch. If I touch the fingerpad it feels like it's not my skin, kind of numb I am trying to keep iit clean and put neosporin on it, but it has not helped yet -any suggestions?? I am currently on an antibiotic for a throat/thyrioid problem - I thought that would have been enough?
