I have a blister like bump on my third finger between the nail bed and the first joint - it swells, gets sore, finally breaks open after being bumped - oozes yellow like fluid, and even after two different antibiotics (one was clindamycin for abscessed tooth, the other was mucirpin ointment I used to try to clear it up) no improvement. I ve had it about 9 months now and it comes and goes - but doesn t go away
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
