Drain it: a subungual abscess is an unusual phenomenon. In many instances, the nail must be removed. one can use a heated piercing device to drain it occasionally. but the drainage should be cultured and an x-ray should be taken to check the bone and underlying soft tissue. Consult a hand physician
