I am 32 years male. Not diabetic nor do I am blood pressure. I have paronychia on my right hand finger. Pus had accumulated. While taking bath pus had come out. I washed it and continued bath. I think water seeped inside cause since bath water is oozing out. It's been 3 hours since. Will pus accumulate again? What should I do?

Use tankan and subhra powder. Mix it in water and dip your finger in that for some minute.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Pus is most likely to accumulate again. What is needed is complete drainage, cleaning and dressing almost daily for a few days. If nail bed is infected, the concerned nail may go. You may need painkiller and a suitable antibiotic for about 5 to 6 days. Thanks.
