Just visiting my elderly DM. She has a nasty looking boil on her finger, it's been growing since Tuesday. So far she's soaked it in hot water several times a day, soaked it with hot water and dettol and I suggested a bicarb poultice which she wore for two hours but nothing.
If it was me, I'd be attacking it with a pin but don't think it's a good idea for DM.
Anything else you can think of to try? Pharmacist wasn't particularly interested. DM is getting very anxious.
Photo below, not a brilliant one but best I could do.
TIA for any advice!
