re-finishing a door, got a splinter deep across the top of my thumb. It pulled out, looks clean (via led light thru thumb), but have infection. Have soaked with hydo/preoxide, an soap and water. It is very tender to touch and when hit on top of thumb. Keep treating as above with neosporin or see a Doc?
