Ouch

I think I have an infected pinkie. I'm being my hypochondriac self and thinking of the possibility of it turning into sepsis, all through a hang nail (worse things have happened, I suppose). It's been throbbing all day, kind has this funky discharge, is warm, swollen, and red. That meets all the qualifications for something that I should be worried about, no? I'll wait a day or two and then I'll forget about it, I'm sure. Or, I'll develop fevers and nausea and vomiting and curse the day I took off that hang nail.
