Soaking in warm salty water...like everyone else says.





There is a black salve you can get at the drugstore called ';drawing salve'; that can draw out the infection.





Others who have advised you to see a doctor are right. I'd give it one more day max and see someone. Don't be fooled into thinking something so small isn't a big deal.

You need to soften the skin by keeping your hand in warm water and then with a needle, puncture it and gently drain the pus out.


Also, I actually would recommend a quick trip to the doctors because you may need antibiotics too. Just keep draining the infection gently until your doctor takes care of it. Don't do it too harshly though, or the infection will spread.
Soak it in warm water with a little dissolved salt and gently push out the puss as best you can
soak it in warm to hot water. you need antibiotics to clear up the infection.
Don't cut nails too short. The skin grows over them %26amp; causes problems.
