A member asked:
I have an wound on my finger form a cycist there is a little hole and pus is coming out and it smells it's also hard around the wound is that ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That's NOT OK.: That's an infection. That requires antibiotics. And if there's a deeper hole, it could even be an infection of the muscle or bones. This should be evaluated right away and treatment should be initiated.
