DD fell at school on Monday and yesterday her teacher pointed out her hand hurt and there is a pus filled spot on the palm of her hand. The teacher thinks there may be gravel inside but there is a layer of skin over the yellow pus filled spot.
I've put some antibiotic cream (from previous infected finger) on the spot this evening but am wondering if we need to do more - any mention of needles or tweezers has DD in tears but I don't know if this is even the right approach. Or should we consult the professionals instead? Any advice please?
Note - the black line around the spot is tracing the redness so we can track whether it's getting worse.
