What Causes Bloody Pus Discharge From A Wound On Finger?

Hi I smashed my finger at work the other day and my nail is going to fall off I know this. I took all the antibiotics they have me. I finished last week with them. I took my bandage off to cleanup the area and noticed bloody pus has been coming out of it. Is this normal? It does not smell.

Hi there. As its bee a week and the nail is still hanging on inspire if it being of little use my advice would be to remove it surgically. Dress the wound with mupirocin after wiping the area with saline. No need of antibiotics. It will settle. Get rid of the nail first. Take care.
