[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 356625, member: 1233"] That makes sense, Marg. I get pockets of infection around my fingernails on a regular basis. They are deep, and I first have a sore finger, then it swells, and finally I can see a small yellow spot under several layers of skin. This has happened since childhood (early elem school). I rarely go a season with-o one. Each time I see a new doctor they want to lance it. Not only does that hurt like the dickens, it isn't very effective. They cannot really get a big enough needle down there to get the pus out if they aspirate, or make a big enough hole for it all to drain out. After using phisohex (neurotoxic soap so you have to be very careful) and hot water to soak for years, I finally just started using hot water. The soap really irritates my skin. Oral antibiotics don't ever make much difference. If they open up and drain a little I use tea tree oil after applying peroxide until it no longer fizzes. the hot water followed by tea tree oil seems to work the best. [/QUOTE]
