After one day of using hot water and antibiotic ointment and a bandage, my small paronychia popped after accidentally getting the section of my finger where i shut the door lightly. should i be worried? i reapplied everything after?

So you drained it by accident. Keep the area clean and dry then you will be OK.

What can be done about itching in skin folds? The itching is more intense when bathing in warm water. Medicated talcum powder gives only temporary relief. Antibiotic ointments only seem to make it worse. Cortisone cream has no effect one way or the other.
