Aa
Paronychia
I had a 'non pus' paronychia after picking at a hang nail. I noticed it right as it started so went right to the doctor. It was a pink bump with no pain and wasn't warm to the touch. My primary put me on Keflex 500 mg 3 x's a day for 7 days. The bump went way down and the color went to normal within about 3 days but a bump can still be felt below the area of where the cuticle meets the finger (nailbed?). Is it normal for the bump to take a while to go away? I only soaked it for the first 2 days.
