A member asked:

I have an infected cuticle on my finger. cleaning with dettol, plaster & germolene salf. finger's area around the nail is inflamed, red-purple, very sensitive, pounding pain at night. what more should i do? also 33 weeks pregnant... so using panado.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Requires drainage: it sounds like you have a paronychia, an infection, often with pus accumulation between the cuticle and fingernail. I suggest immediate clinical evaluation and minor surgery to evacuate any pus accumulation plus antibiotic therapy. Call or go to clinic NOW!
