[|Human|] I recently had to remove porcupine quills from my dog, I pricked my thumb with one, the last couple of days it has been sore to the touch, today I guess not so bad cause when I finally looked at it I noticed there was puss under the skin around my nail. I percied the skin and removed puss and cleaned it with peroxide, I cant see if there is anything in there but it is very sore again, I have also notices the last couple of days I have been really ichy all over for no reason and tired.lisa
[|AI|]  Hi, You might be having acute parochial. Parochial is an inflammation of the folds of tissue surrounding the nail of a toe or finger. The main factor associated with the development of acute parochial is direct or indirect trauma to the cuticle or nail fold that happened two days back. Treatment of acute parochial is determined by the degree of inflammation. If an abscess has not formed, the use of warm water compresses and soaking the affected finger in vinegar might help.  Tylenol can be taken for pain relief. Mild cases may be treated with an antibiotic cream (e.g. BactrobanNeosporin] alone or in combination with a topical corticosteroid. For severe infection it is important to consult your doctor and get the puss Chat Doctor.
