I feel for you...I have seen you struggling for a few weeks.
Have you tried 100% pure tea tree oil? Also, I found this awesome Chinese herb after reading Snake's post and have had great luck with it when it comes to needing immediate pain relief b/c its almost too much to bear. Its called Huang Lian or Coptis....check out this google link for a liquid form:

I recommend ordering online, you will be amazed at how quickly it will realize the fire and pain and let you get some rest to heal.
In the meantime, try to make sure you take advil like every 4-6 hours to help with the inflammation. Not sure what your budget is like or what is already a part of your coping regime but I also recommend a few supplements to help support your immune system: Zinc, Vit D, Lysine, Super B complex and any hair, skin and nails vitamins.
Try to avoid sweets and fast food, I know it sucks but it helps.
Good luck sweetie....I feel for you, I know how awful it is to be in pain and not be able to rest because of this shitty condition.
