about 2 and a half months ago (June), i had an infection in my middle finger on my right hand. it got worse so i went to the doctor after a day because it wasnt open. she pressed hard on my finger to take this yellow nasty stuff out and then gave me some ointment called "Mupirocin Ointment USP, 2%" (Rx only). after a few days, my finger wasnt puffy and wasnt hurting anymore. i thought everything was going to be fine again... i was wrong. a week or two later, my nail started lefting. i thought this was going to be dangerous and i clipped off the part of my nail that was white and a piece of my nail still stays on my finger. i discovered a rather large lump that is in the middle of my nail bed and im worried my infection never cleared, but right now after 2 and a half months, i stil hav that lump and im growing hard skin instead of a nail. im worried my nail will never grow back on this finger. should i still use this ointment everyday? i hide this by wearing a new bandade everyday and im not pretty happy about it. i try not to wet my hands that much so water isnt trapped inside it so my finger wont be wet... im worried. hav any ideas?
