Those of you who helped me with my gross finger last week...please help again!

As you may remember (I'm sure it was the highlight of your week ) I had a very sore finger last week. I saw my GP about it - couldn't get an appointment with the nurse - he gave me a course of antibiotics. I now have 1 1/2 days to go and my finger looks like the new picture. Should I see him again before the weekend (when I will have finished the antibiotics). OUCH! Thanks.
Oh and I did prick it last week (with sterilised needle) and squeezed out some pus - very satisfying! He said NOT to soak it though.

glad it's getting better! I remember the thread, can't remember what I said on it though.

Still looks very infected to me.

I swear by tea tree oil - wonder would putting that on help?

It's not better, 'tis worse! Don't have any tea tree oil Buda, arnica is my herbal limit - oh and rescue remedy, that stuff is amazing

Well I would go back to doc tomorrow then.

oh sorry, misread post, and didn't check the photos!

Yep, looks worse to me. Go back to docs.

Bugger, that's what I thought. Was hoping for a miraculous solution. Think next trip to doc may involve a scalpel
