Acute Paronychia in Recovery?

Question

Asked for Male, 17 Years

I recently had a case of Acute Paronychia, and it appears to be recovering. Swelling went down, and I squeezed out a lot pus and discharge from the abscess (don't believe there is any left). Some strange things leave me doubting. I peeled off a bunch of chapped skin around the swelling, and there still seems to be a slight incline present.
