Hello doctor, My mother age 55, had acute Paronychia twice in 2 different fingers. Both time the doctors drained it but now it is not healing. It has turned black,swollen & painful. Recently sugar was found to be high for which she is taking medicine for fast healing. Plz suggest for fast healing & prevention. Dipping in water worsens the condition.
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor, Acute frequent parochial are one of the signs of increased blood sugar levels in the body at this age. As the wound is not healing with the antibiotics suggest blood sugars are not in control.  I would suggest her to give anti-diabetic Chat Doctor.  Control of blood sugars, good wound management and a course of antibiotics will help to fasten the healing. Thank you.
