Is the fluid clear, white, yellow, or green? If it is yellow or green, you definitely have an infection.
[ a boil, or abscess, looks like a monster pimple ].
Do not pop it.
First, wash it really well, with lots of soap and water. You should always do this for any injury.
Fill a mug or small bowl with very warm water.
Soak the finger for 10 - 20 minutes.
Apply antibiotic ointment, and a clean bandage.
Repeat four times a day.
CALL A DOCTOR: if
you run a temp
the finger gets more - painful, redder or purpler, more swollen, hotter, drains more or thicker pus.

It's a blood blister. You can pop it. They're freaky looking but not a big deal.
