Brief Answer:
yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.
This is so called panaritium or paroinichia and it means that there is infection of finger tip that usually begins around the nail. If whole pus is evacuated then the redness will pull back soon,just keep area clean and apply antibiotic ointment. If there is still pus then you should see surgeon who is going to drain it completely.
Wish you good health. Regards
