From past 2-3 months, my left hand thumb had got swelling and it developed like a wound and puss is coming out regularly. I am unable to do anything with that thumb. Its like a dummy. Swelling is still there and sometimes its paining also. I am 36 years old.

Dear patient, you should not allow an abscess to remain so long as it might get further deteriorated. You also need to check your blood sugar. The abscess needs to be completely drained and would dressed following all aseptic measures. You also need to take tetanus injection if not taken. Pls do not neglect and meet a surgeon.
