Hello fellow sporners.
It all started a few days ago when I pulled out caught a hang nail on my little finger. It started to get sore and yesterday I realised it had swollen up and was throbbing rather painfully. By this morning it was very angry, with a greenish patch to the side of the nail which turned a more bluish hue near the cuticle.
The pain was bad, and it felt like it was going to explode. Of course I decided to help it along.
The first picture shows it before I started prodding.
The second picture is the first lot of pus after sticking it with a sterile pin.
The third picture shows the second lot of pus.
It still really hurts so there may be another session tomorrow depending on how it progresses.
