A member asked:

It feels like a possible infection on my finger and i am not sure how i picked it up.it feels tender around my finger nail, lightly red, swollen.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Paronychia: There are different kinds of infection around the nail. None of them respond to antibiotic ointment. May need drainage of pus. A common finding is chronic paronychia caused by bandaids and antibiotic ointments. Best see a dermatologist.
