Paronychia isn't completely treated.
I have swelling in my middle finger after tearing off skin near the nail. Doctor gave antibiotics and sumag bandage on the finger and also drained the blood once.
The swelling subsided but a bit of swelling is still there. It hurts a little bit and I am wondering why it is still there.
Should I stop taking antibiotics because it's already over two weeks.
