I have the beginning of a paronychia on my toe, I wanted to know what I can do to reverse the infection? (there is no pus yet)

To treat the beginning of a paronychia on your toe, it's important to keep the area clean and avoid touching it to prevent the infection from getting worse. You can go to the pharmacy and ask for a cream called Bactroban (mupirocin), which you should apply three times a day for three days as a preventive measure. If you don't see any improvement after that, it's recommended to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
