hello .... The paronychia once occure takes time to heal. The underlying cause is to be identified... If its due to the ingrowing nail, then the intervention is required. And if long standing, it can cause abscess formation.

Do consult a plastic surgeon nearby as soon as possible, or u can text me online for further details
