Do you use eo? Apply some tea tree oil or thieves, help to antibacterial. I will itchy hand and squeeze all the pus out till I see blood, means “clean” no more pus. But if it gets worst pls go see a doctor. I self squeeze my Daughter 5yo ingrown toe infection before with the above method and eo.

Suggest to see a doctor if it is still swollen and have infection after a week. May need some oral medication like anti-biotics.
