  1. Hey are you aware YouTube has removed Tessa Davis’ video: How to drain a paronychia getting the pus out?
    YouTube message states: This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s Terms of Service

  2. Can still recall the pain of a paronychia! I won’t even tell you what I did to relieve the pressure in my finger but it involved a very hot needle and a lot of desperation :/ thanks for the video and tips 🙂
