Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. I think you have got secondary bacterial infection of nail folds called parochial. Not much to worry about, consult your dermatologist, who would recommend you a short course of antibiotics (CEA Chat Doctor.  Apply antibiotic cream containing mupirocin twice a day. Avoid peeling/ biting / scratching as it would worsen the condition. Hope this will resolve your query. Thank you
