[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 1975182, member: 100904"] Sorry to disappoint, [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] and [USER=223921]@JohnEGreen[/USER]. I thought the verbal description could make folks visualise the horror that was my putrid finger. Anyone squeamish! Stop reading now,!! I was in no fit state to take photos before, as I had a temperature and headache, and all the other trappings of an infection. Sorry, there is not much horror to see now it has started to heal, and is covered with a dressing much of the time. I had my finger numbed, and the cuticle lifted, a bit of poking about and some pus and fluid emerged. Then the finger pad had a small incision, quite deep until I felt a satisfying pop. Then a bit of digging and squeezing. I guess JohnEGreen would have seen plenty of horrific toes. The finger, when the gunk was released felt so much better. The stuff that came out of it was smelly yellowish green goop and a fair bit of blood too. There is a vertical split up the nail, which I think could lift and separate the nail from the nail bed. The fingerpad is just a bit sore now. With a changed fingerprint. Luckily not my dominant hand. Still not an experience I would like to repeat though. [/QUOTE]
