Any solution to paronychia with help of home remedies?

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: I'm having a hardening of my fingertips with soreness. There are areas under several nails that are callused and extends to the cuticles. If I press my fingertips, the indentation remains for quite some time. I do drink 40 - 60 oz of water a day, but find I still feel dehydrated and thirsty at times. I don't sweat, but then I never did sweat much. I do have a doctor appointment but not until the middle of next month.

Condition analysis:
Hello, Thanks for your query. The resultant changes in your fingertips and nails may be due to paronychia. Paronychia is an infection of the skin around a fingernail or toenail. The infected area can become swollen, red, and painful, and a pus-filled blister. Paronychia is caused by bacteria or fungus infection. The changes in your fingertips and nail bed may also be a result of the following dermatological conditions:

1) Onychomycosis: Fungal infection of nails. One of the most common causes.
This is confirmed by obtaining nail material for microscopic examination and culture

2) Nail psoriasis: The changes seen here are pitting, ridging, discoloration of nails, thickening of the tissues under your nail.

Instructions:
1. Apple Cider Vinegar For Painful Blisters Of The Skin Infection:
Take equal quantities of apple cider vinegar and hot water. Mix well. Soak your infected toe or finger nails in the prepared solution for 30 minutes.
Apple cider vinegar is known to have inhibiting affect on the yeast infection, Candida. It also works effectively to treat warts.

2. Hydrogen Peroxide To Heal Pus Filled Warts:
