paronychia treatment?
my middle finger is a little red and a little swollen on one side of my nail and i found out it was paronychia. theres a very small amount of puss i can see. will warm water soaks be enough because its really mild? or should i see a doctor to get it drained even though its not that bad?

Marc answers:
Warm soaks in fifty percent warm water and fifty percent antibacterial soap for 15 minutes twice a day. Now if it persists, or you cannot move the joint(closest the nail) or you see red streaks going up the finger, you need to see your doctor. He can put a wick in under the nail to allow puss to drain.

Ken asksâ¦
Is paronychia a contra indication to a nail treatment?

Marc answers:
If you mean a manicure, then yes. A salon would/should not do it.
