What Does A Blister On The Finger Indicate?

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.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
