Abscess on finger

2023-07-25 13:05:50
I am a 30-year-old female. Three days ago, I developed an abscess on my fingertip. It is causing me pain and discomfort. Is there any ointment that can help? I am currently 20 weeks pregnant and do not want to take any medication. I am already taking Folic acid and other vitamins  as prescribed by Gyno doctor. Earlier this month, I also received a tetanus shot as per government guidelines for maternity care. I am looking for a  non-medicine external solutions, such as ointments or band-aids, to help with the quick recovery of my finger sore. Please see the attached photo of my finger. Can you suggest any ointment?
