Boil on the tip of thumb
My husband got a boil on the tip of his thumb from last 2 weeks. It might have been due to a nail cut few days back. There was a watery discharge from the boil until a few days and we put Betadine ointment over it. We presume that it is drying up but the pain persists. Seeking your advice.
