 Hello,You must be meaning paronychia.ok?This is indded a nail infection caused by bacteria,fungi,and virus rarely.It is also known as whitlow.Most cases respond to antibiotics.Fungal ones may need fluconazole as presribed by a physician,a few may need incision and drainage by a surgeon.If it settles with epsom salt fine,but if persists or very painful do consult a doctor.Best wishes.
