Weird popped bruise which smells?!


Question: Weird popped bruise which smells?
Thanks for reading!

Ok, so for a week or so I've had this weird yellowy-green bruise on the end of one of my fingers. It got quite sore to touch but for the past day or so it didn't hurt. Anyway I just accidently popped it (suggesting it wasn't a bruise at all) and now this smelly gooey yellow stuff has come out. Is it serious? Should I be worried?

Answers:

It is an infection. The ooze is puss,made up of white corpuscles and body fluids that are fighting and encapsulating the bacteria that is attacking you. It smells because it was starting to rot. Clean the wound,dab on peroxide with a cotton ball, coat it in Neosporin Ointment, and cover lightly with gauze. Once a day soak it in hot water( as hot as you can stand ) and a couple tablespoons of Epson Salts for 1/2 hour. If it gets sore and red go to a doctor and get some antibiotics so you don't get blood poison.



it's probably a blister
