What Causes Popping Of Crystals From Wound On Hand After Smoking Meth?

I noticed I had the crystals and black greenish stuff in my skin from smoking meth after I was cleaning out a slightly infected small cut on my hand. 3 rocks popped out not crystals rocks and I had never heard of this so I kept pulling pushing th out of the cut..I spent 7 hours pushing the crystals out oft hand... Now my hand is very red and puffy on the half where I was pushing them out. I am very worried of it getting staph or other infection.. What should I do? I ve been taking baths and showers And putting hydrogen peroxide on it. The other crystals into body are very heavy and painful, is there anything else I can do to get them out?
