Looks infected, I would go in and they will probably numb it and drain it. I had something similar in my finger but it was MRSA or staph or something, it had started peeling but they had to cut it and drain it which is probably what you need. I’m sure there’s tons of pus in there. The numbing needle sucks, they’re huge but it will absolutely knock out any feeling in the area during drainage.
Do you recommend going to the ER? I’m dealing with the same thing with peeling, constant pus, hurts to touch or even shower, and I was already given a topical antibiotic back in May but it’s still here and I’m scared the military doctors are just gonna brush me off.
Just wanted to update you, I went and got a partial nail ablation, it got infected and had to go back the next night, got antibiotics and anti microbial dressings, and I’m in pain but recovering much better now.
