Shhhhhhush.

I am sat with a painful finger, something to do with the nail bed under the cuticle.
Anyhow, the nurse I saw on a routine check up said. I have to go to the docs with it as if has been septic for a few months now..ermmmmmm any volunteers please.


(I do squeeze it on a night and dran the fluid out, nice clear fluid I hasten to add)

This happened to me as a kid my mum had me soak it in an egg cup of boiling water( as hot as I could stand) with TCP in.
Try to keep it as clean as poss but if you cover it make sure the cover is breathable. Hope it gets better soon.

Thanks Kizzy.
I was thinking of making a soap and sugar poultice for it.

Be honestly, you would love it if you squeezed it tonight and a fountain of puss shot across the room

Haha, I would be happier if I woke up to a pain free finger.

Nurse said I need some antibiotics as it doesn't want to heal itself..think it is to do with the diabetes.
Funny thng is if it was on a toe I am straight at the docs..never think of losing a finger I suppose.
