Hi, I have this red edged 'spot' on my middle right finger. It's not a blister, scald/burn but other than that I have no idea what it is? The only thing I can think of is I had a small scratch there last week and it's something to do with that!!! Could someone please advise me what I can do to make it go away. Do I need to to put a hot/cold compress on it. It's not painful but as I'm right handed it is annoying. Tia. Pic attached if it helps.

The redness and pus indicates an infection.

Go to your doctor ffs!

Looks pretty small, if that were my finger I’d lance it and cover the wound with sudocreme.

Stick a sewing needle in it and use an antiseptic ointment, Germolene is good.

Another vote for a clean needle and some antiseptic

Update!!! Have lanced it and put antiseptic cream on it. Will keep an eye on it for a few days
