A member asked:

5days ago ic pin got in finger tip not bleeding and now its swollen a bit with pus in the place where the pin went in, pain is reducing now what to do?

Best get checked: Even if you think it might be getting better, it's best to get it checked. An infection of any part of the hand can be serious and you want to make sure it is taken care of.
