It could be a bacterial infection of the skin in the area or active inflammation with ingrown nail.. need to examine and assess to ascertain cause... Also need to know if there is coexisting diabetes and need to know history of any drug allergies. I would suggest to get these details cleared up with a doctor before starting the treatment. You should send me images through private online consult for a better assessment of the problem and approaching it accordingly. Hope this is helpful.
