From your description it sounds like its infected and home remedies will not help. I would contact your doc and get evaluated before the infection spreads further.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. You have infected finger with lymphangitis. If you doctor is not available, go to the ER of a hospital to prevent systemic infection.
