My daughter's boyfriend has this on the middle finger of his right hand, over the knuckle. The Dr.'s are saying if the antiobiotics don't work they may need to amputate his finger. We don't want that to happen of course, Please help????

We have no intention of taking him off of conventional medical treatment, we want to try natural remedies along with the conventional treatment, to give him a better chance of healing.
To Soul Dr. It started from a bug bite about a week ago. It got very swollen and red, he went to Immediate care where they lanced it. Pus shot out of the wound and hit the Dr. in the face, lol. They ran a culture and started him on antibiotics, he went back today, and found out it was MRSA. They now have him on multiple antibiotics. He is in his late 20's early 30's, overall healthy, not overweight, drinks a couple beers a day, (we told him to stop while on atbx), and smokes. He works outside installing fences. Typical guy.

To Soul Dr.: Today the wound is still swollen, and open and oozing, and looks like it is getting black around the edges. I suspect that it's necrotic. I don't think he knows what kind of bug bit him.
