I have a recoil that looks like it has become infected. There seems to be a little ball of flesh coming out. This morning there is some stink coming out of it

Question

Indeed, it is red and swollen. I don't have a fever at all, but it is very sensitive. I am trying your superficial solution for the next few days to see if it helps! Thank you

Hello, The symptoms you describe sound like those of a panic attack (infection around and/or under the nail) Is the affected area red, hot, swollen? Do you have a fever? If the infection is deep, you will need to see a doctor because it may be necessary to treat with antibiotics If the infection is superficial, I recommend this: *Soak your finger or toe for about 10 minutes in Dakin solution twice a day. Here is the link for the recipe: https://www.familiprix.com/fr/articles/la-solution-dakin-modifiee-preparation *After soaking, apply an antibiotic ointment (Polysporin or other brand) 3 to 4 times a day and apply a diachylon or other type of bandage to cover *If, despite this, the infection progresses, it would be better to go see a doctor. Have a nice day, Catherine Tremblay 👍
