Hello lybrate-user, this sort of infection might be koilonychia! in that case I would advice you to visit a nearest general surgeon asap and get the pus aspirated and then be under an antibiotic coverage along with some pain relievers! this is a minor surgical procedure done on outdoor basis under local anesthesia or sometimes radial block. So in case of any anxiousness regarding surgical procedures just relax. This is virtually painless!
