I have been a nail/cuticle biter and picker since I was a child and have never experienced this before. Paronychia. Started as a small sore and got progressively worse over the course of two days. Last night I developed red streaks down to my elbow that were sore to the touch. One Urgent Care visit and another ER visit and im on a large dose of antibiotics. I dont care if I have to keep my fingers covered in bitters for the rest of my life, I am NEVER letting this happen again. The pain is unreal.
