What's an ointment that gets rid of fingertip infections ? or something to get this off my finger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If this is from a bacterial infection, there is OTC triple abx ointment but if the germ is not responsive to these antibiotics, you may need an oral abx. If this has been present for more than 2 weeks, consult your doctor.
