Drainage(popping) is the treatment of choice. Rarely other treatments such as topical or oral antibiotics are needed. YES, keep the hand/fingers clean including keeping them out of your mouth. Good luck

Agree with Dr Omekara, Peronychia is the right diagnosis and antibiotic is the right treatment and if there is a buble that poped, it drained itself out which is the right process for healing, stil I believe antibiotic ointment is necessary, also warm soaks.

To prevent the peonychia from happening again : 1- avoid fingernail biting

2-wash hands frequently especially if you are working with dirt ( farmers. Carpenter etc...)

3-wear rubber gloves if exposed routinely to water ot irritant

detergent

4- if you have diabetis : keep your blood sugar under control

GOD BLESS

Obiously you have bacterial right finger nail bed. It is called paronychia. If you can afford to see a doctor, go in and have the green pus tested. It is more like pseudomonas. But culture and sensitivity of the pus will help the doctor match the infection with the right antibiotic medication. Where you can not afford a doctor visit, you just wash your finger nails up to six times a day with Listerine mouth wash and apply any OTC antibiotic ointment (from Dollar Tree) to the affected fingers. If that doesn't help, you must find a way to see a provider at an urgent care facility to rule oUT bone infection. Let me know how it goes.
You need to come in for a visit and be started on medication.
