About a week ago, I bit off a hangnail and today I think my moulding has gotten infected. It's swollen and too painful to move. I've been swing hydrocortisone toiletries on it and today I can see pus forming in a lump on the right side. What to do?

You can try hydrogen whitener soaks, letting it 'bubble' a some times. Rinse well. Stop the Cortef cream & try bactericide or other antibacterial cream. If not better in 7 days, or redness/swelling/pain/heat spreads, see a Nurse Practitioner or a doctor. DON'T use an Emergency Room. Good luck! :)
