It's a bacterial infection so it's best to treat it with antibiotics (ampiclox). Applying heat also helps a lot. When I had it back in uni, I used to put the affected finger on any hot surface I could find, I will melt wax on it and also dip it in methylated spirit. My sister made hot eba and held my finger into it. It was very painful but I felt some relief afterwards. The pus eventually released while the finger was on a hot pot after just over a week. Afterwards, I applied spirit on the wound till it healed. People gave me so many remedies like battery acid, petrol, using pin to rupture the pus etc. I never used those methods, antibiotics and heat worked well for me. The finger looks normal despite the scary stories I was told that it will be disfigured. 4 Likes 1 Share |

This this really harsh but I saw it worked wonders for someone. Mix a little caustic soda with palm oil and apply on the affected area. It's painful but very fast. |

Good day everyone, please ignore most of the advice given above. Whitlow is the colloquial(street name) for pulp space abscess of the proximal and middle segments of the finger, most often bacterial in origin. Please see your doctor who would perform a very simple incision and drainage procedure after administration of a local anaesthetic. The pus within the space is drained and healing is quite good. I had this 3-4 times as a child and now have the privilege of treating thousands of people with this condition. It is different from herpetic infection of the hand often seen in people who work in the oral cavity like dentists, dental technologists. |
