A warm compress is used to draw pus to the surface and onto the compress material. It should be as warm as bearable, rather than too hot to cause scalding. Change the compress frequently, and only use a new compress as a replacement. Don't wash and reuse a compress to avoid further infection.

Is there a home remedy for pus under fingernail?
Keep area religiously clean and bandaged with sterile bandage.Apply warm compress several times a day until the pus is released.If the pus is underneath the nail without a route of escape, it will probably simply stay there until the nail grows out. Keep the nail clean and trimmed.If the presence of pus is painful, see a doctor who can either drain the pus or give you a pain management solution.If you see any sign of serious infection or spreading infection, to go the doctor ASAP.yes. and i can assure you that it is quite painful!! you have to heat up the area, such as soaking it in hot water or putting a hot compress on it for about 20 minutes or more if you choose. Then, with a clean, sharp, and perfectly sterile needle, you must pierce through the nail and squeeze the puss out to release the pressure. Most of the time the pressure is so great it will just come out on its own. If the wound is not extremely painful in the first place and it seems to be healing on its own, you don't need to pierce it and you can just let it take it time to heal. If you feel you cannot do this procedure at home, a doctor can do it and you can ask for pain relievers or a numbing solution before the process.
