I hit my little finger on something last night and it is really painful. It is near finger nail , really swollen and hot and so tender to touch. There is some pus starting to ooze out of it now. Any advice on what I could put on it ? TIA

Get as much pus out as you can. Savlon, tcp or similar might help. Even soak in salt water.

put some soap on a sticky plaster and leave it on your finger over night. it will draw out the pus. It really does work.

ok will give that a go and see how it is tomorrow.
There obviously is an infection. It should heal itself, though. See a doctor if you get a temperature, don't feel well or it starts getting worse
Question Author
could it really get infected from just hitting it ?
It is if it has pus in it. You've damaged the skin and something has got in somewhere. I'm sure will heal naturally, but you can help it with antibacterial / antiseptic creams and soaks

Bit odd that pus has formed within 24 hours...........

I agree with pixie, if you feel well in yourself, e.g no temperature, then it should settle without medical assistance.
