Boil on heel and finger
I have an eruption on my heel & finger. I got the dressing done on them and the nurse told me that this should be treated by a skin specialist since it does not look like a boil. There is no pus on the heel but there is watery discharge and it itches.On my hand there is pus which the nurse drained out.What should I do
