The pus formation in finger can be due to several reasons:
1. Trauma
2. Foreign object
3. Infection- Bacterial or Tubercular
The solution is :
1. Incision and drainage
2. Antibiotics depending upon the culture sensitivity of the pus
3. Rest to the affected finger
Consult a general surgeon, get your blood levels and culture sensitivity done and treated. It will be cured for sure.
