A doctor has provided 1 answer

Paronychia: The description of your toe here’s one that can be treated with hot soaks 3 to 4 times daily, a good local cleansing of the area at least 3 to 4 times daily. Oral antibiotics usually are not necessary but it does help to wear open toed shoes and keep the area clear from any pressure from shoes or other types of footwear. If the pain or redness spreads, see your doctor.
