Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I am 28 yrs, male. I have no history of any paticular illness. Of late a few boils (baal-tod) are cropping up on my skin. The latest one is on my middle finger s base on my left hand. It has already rutured after being ripe, and now a lot of puss (yellowish) and plain transparent liquid is coming out. However I am having pain at the finger joint. The joint is also feeling a bit numb. Please help with further action. I had applied Clops GM ointment befor the rupture and Betadiene after it ruptured...
It looks from your details that you had infected boil at your base of middle finger. At present, you should apply a good antibiotic cream like Soframycin at it and should not wet it for 3-5 days. You may have an anti-inflammatory agent like Aceclofenac. Do dressing and cleaning with spirit.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
