A member asked:

My mom's middle finger is swollen and tender and there is pus coming out her nail fold, is this paronychia? how to treat plz?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doc: It certainly can be, or it can be a finger pulp infection. Either way, i'd see a doctor as this usually requires oral antibiotics. You can also try wet soaks at home, but this is not curative.
