Hi,

Since you do not wish to see a doctor, try using hot compress frequently for a few days. If that does not work, then it will be better to take your parents in confidence and seek help. It is not worth risking the loss of a limb just to avoid a scolding from parents. More so, when the scolding or any other punishment they may give you would be for your own well-being.

Best wishes.
