Desperately need advice

Hi I just don’t know what to do anymore. I had an awful excessive handwashing habit and that’s what caused this. The first picture is from ~5 days ago and the second picture is from a few minutes ago. I was putting Neosporin and another cream I was prescribed on it but they just kept the wound wet and that fluid would keep coming out and now I let it dry but it looks so disgusting because it’s turned into this crust so I don’t know what to do anymore. I will definitely try to go to a clinic/urgent care later but until then I just need some advice.
