Try these home remedies to cure the infection –

Turmeric has properties to fight the infection. Apply turmeric powder or fresh turmeric on the infected area and leave it for some time.
Soak your finger in a bowl of warm water with salt added.

This will also help to cut down the infection.
Avoid touching the infected area to avoid its further spread.
Your infection seems old, as you have mentioned one week. If it doesn’t get cured in another 1 or 2 days then consult a specialist to avoid its further spread or any complications.
