Cuticle infection! HELP!

ksw5ff

So I'm a cosmetology student and got a manicure at school the other day. She clipped a little too far in on one side of my pinky and starting this morning the whole side of that pinky is red and swollen. I was kind of messing with it (smart, I know) and I noticed there's a pus pocket in there. While I know it may be a bacterial infection and I need to keep it clean, I was wondering if anybody here has ever had the same thing happen while pregnant. We recently lost our insurance and are patiently waiting our medicaid approval for the remainder of this pregnancy so I can't very well go to the doctor for it. Anyone have any advice on how to handle it or if this will harm the LO?
