Suggest Treatment For Red Itchy And Swollen Bite On Palm/around Thumb
My husband has a bite on his hand that is red, swollen, and had a head on it with puss. The first day it itched really bad. It's hot to the touch and his hand is swollen around the bottom, and his palm, and also around the thumb. We soaked it in espom salt and then he popped it. Puss and blood came out. There is no fever, or other symptoms. Do you know what else we should do? Does he need to see someone to get antibitoic? Thank you very much for taking time to anwser.
