Suggest Remedy Fro Painful Red And Swollen Middle Fingers

Most probably paronychia
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM...
You have swelling on side of nail in middle finger of left hand,right? And the swelling is reddish and extremely painful. You gave history of skin trauma while nail clipping.
This much history clinch the probable diagnosis of paronychia. It is a bacterial infection of nail fold caused by staphylococci after trauma to nail fold skin. Still, I would like to have look to photo of your lesion. Please post the photo immediately, so that I might give proper advice.
And I would like to know your general status. Do you have any internal disease like DM,anaemia or immunocompromised condition? Do you take any medicine?
Thanks..
Awaiting your reply.
