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.
