What to do with my infected finger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a physician: Infections of the finger require antibiotics to treat and can sometimes become severe and require surgery. The best option is to see your physician to assess if this is something that can be treated with medication or if it requires surgery. The earlier the better.
