Dermatologist, Dr. Harshit Bhachech's Response

Hello,

As per your case history of cut on finger, my treatment advice is:

1. Do not scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an NSAID like Ibuprofen for pain.

If the problem persists, then consult a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
