Paronychia in hand finger
I had pain, swelling & pud in my finger near the nail, doctor told me that it is paronychia. Doctor said we will remove the pus and it will get better because it was very painful. After removing the pus they did the dressing and told me to come next day but again next when they opened the dressing some fluid was there and it was still swollen so again they removed it and told me that now it will not happen again and you can apply ointment own your own after 1 day. But when I opened the dressing again I saw some fluid and swelling, is it normal? because they told me that it will heal automatically. Please tell me is it normal because I am really worried?
I am attaching the picture also.

Draining of pus will speed up recovery but you will need antimicrobial cover for infection and it will also take some time.
From the colour of your nails it seems you have iron deficienciy/ anemia , if that is the case your healing will be slow.
