Nail fungus and paronychia
I have been suffering from nail fungal infection since few months. Initially i missed treatment and it effected on 3/4th of my right hand nail. I have started taking oral medicine and also apply nail lacquer. However the nail has not improved. I know it takes time. I dont have any visible yellow puss yet. But the skin above the nail is kind of painful and some times lightly swollen. I do have contact with water. As its my right hand and cannot completely avoid it.
Im trying to avoid any surgery for nail. Is there a permanent solution through oral medications and nail lacquer. Also any anti fungal oil ?
I am a new mom and also kind of have a skin allergy urticaria.

With your explaination, it looks like paronychia.
With topical creams and lifestyle changes, it can be managed.
In selective cases, surgery or procedure helps.
