It depends: There are various types of infections. Infections can be due to a fungus, bacterial or due to a virus. The treatment will depend on the type of infection and on what exactly is infected. The infection could be of the skin, soft tissue or bone. Have it evaluated by a professional to get the appropriate treatment. By leaving it alone it may get worse.
