Infected Hangnail?!
Question: So I pulled on a hangnail on my finger and it didn't really come off. A day later I noticed it swelling a little bit but still played basketball. I have been soaking it in salt water and applying neosporin but its still really sore and sensitive even just barely rub up against something. The bump is kinda small though so I dunno if should wait longer or go to doc (My gf thinks I'll be wimp if go to doc but I heard they have to give you antibiotics?). Its been about 6 days I think since its been infected. What should I do?
