Calling on the wise people of mumsnet who always know what to do.
I’m too inept to post a picture but I have had an infection by the nailbed of one finger for exactly two weeks. Initially red and swollen with not much obvious pus. One week in I pricked it with a sterilised pin and managed to get a small amount of pus out. I thought it was improving but last couple of days continues to be red and has a yellowish crust around nailbed (sorry if you are having lunch).
Work colleagues keep scaremongering and telling me I need a GP appointment. Any thoughts, experiences or words of wisdom? It is painful to touch but not if left alone.
