Clinic evaluation: You must be seen at a clinic for a proper evaluation of your problem. Antibiotics or antifungal meds may be prescribed depending on the diagnosis. In the meantime soaking your thumb in warm water for 20 minutes several times daily should help if this is a case of mild paronychia.
