A member asked:
I have a pocket of pus under the flap skin on my finger i cut 2 weeks ago. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pus under skin: in the hand if not decompressed, can lead to a more severe inection that can spread quickly even in the presence of antibiotics. This needs to be decompressed. Hand anatomy doesnt leave much room for fluid so deeper structures are at risk. Seek medical attention
