The rash is not itchy or swollen. I am currently using Terrasil Balanitis Relief and have no special medical history. What could be causing this and how can I treat it?

My finger is swollen around the nail, and I've soaked it in warm salt water and used hydrogen peroxide. It's been about a week since I got over a sinus infection, and now there's a build-up of crusty material in my nose when I blow it, which is a mix of dark green infection and blood. The swelling in my finger started from the pressure around the nail and I tried to cut it to release the pressure. The affected area is about 2 millimeters high on both sides and the back part of the finger. I'm using Polysporin and I'm 70 years old with a history of quadruple heart bypass in 2011 and diverticulitis. What should I do about the swollen finger and the nasal infection?
