| My finger near the nail has been red and swollen since Saturday. Probably no worse since this am but no better. Do I need to go to the doctor? Been soaking in hot water... |

| Call your doctor's office and describe it to a nurse. |

| Google "paronychia." If that's what your finger looks like, you need an urgent care or ER to drain it. |

| Yup, needed to go to doc to have it drained and now have antibiotics. Paronychia is what is is. Hoping it gets better now... |
