Paronychia Symptoms

A paronychia may start as redness and swelling around the nail, called a cellulitis. It is most often very sore to the touch and, at times, may be a yellow-green color, indicating that a collection of pus has formed under the skin (called an abscess).

The most common symptoms are the following:

• Swelling

• Redness

• Pus collection

• Pain and tenderness to touch
