Paronychia usually starts with redness and swelling that is localized to the lateral edge of the nail. Pain is constant and is made worse by pressing on the nail. Often, there may be a yellowish discharge from the nail edge. When the fingertip starts to swell, chances are that fluid has collected under the skin and is most likely pus (Abscess)
The most common symptoms of a paronychia are:
- Swelling
- Redness
- Pus collection
- Pain and tenderness to touch
In rare cases, one may develop a low grade fever
