question: I have a red swollen area on mp pointer finger with a white spot in the middle that has a blackness under the white spot. I can t recall being bitten by anything and my whole finger is in pain. I have tried to bring the swelling to a head so that it might bust and release some inflamation and pressure but no luck. It s been 4 days and it is extremely painful. Any ideas of what this might be or what i can do?
