Acute Paronychia
My father seems to have this above stated situation. He is diabetic by nature. Today i observed puss around his nail and i ask how it happens to which he has no reply. He said he started sucking his thumb to get it better but somehow it got worsed. I have asked mom to soak his finger in warm water for a while as i read somewhere about the first aid. Let me know if i need to see the doctor or it can be healed by applying home remedies
