Hello
Thank you for posting on HCM
It seems you got acute infection nail folds called paronychia.
Consult your dermatologist for proper management.
Usually i prescribe a short course of iral antibiotics like cefadroxyl and analgesics.
Also, apply a cream containing mupirocin twice a day over affected areas.
Avoid contact with harsh chemicals and detergents.
Hope this will take care of your query
Thank you
