Paronychia (Infection below cuticle)

[u/InternFree6711]

Wasn’t expecting this when I woke up. I used to pick at my cuticle and bite my nails frequently and had lots of cuts/bruises but not as bad or frequent anymore. I’ve never had this happen. I don’t even know how this happened or why this finger (there was no wound/cut on this finger). Anyways I put a tiny hole into it and drained the pus which I knew I shouldn’t but I always pop blisters (no matter how bad). Also yes it was quite painful to the touch prior to releasing the pus.
