"Pain and warmth at the tip of the finger?"

It is important to seek medical attention if you experience persistent swelling or if the symptoms do not improve despite basic hygiene measures. It is advisable to stop using Polysporin if you have been applying it for a week, as it may slow down the healing process in some cases. Regularly cleaning the affected area with water and mild soap is sufficient for now. If the swelling worsens or continues, it would be best to consult a doctor.
