Paronychia is a soft tissue infection around a fingernail that begins as cellulitis but that may progress to a definite abscess. The treatment of choice depends on the extent of the infection. If diagnosed early, acute paronychia without obvious abscess can be treated nonsurgically. If soft tissue swelling is present without fluctuance, the infection may resolve with warm soaks 3-4 times daily. Consult Surgeon....
