[edit] Paronychia vs. Whitlow vs. Felon

I'm really not sure why the main article is paronychia when it's a subclass of fingertip infections, and not the same as a felon or herpetic whitlow. Sure paronychia is most common, but the main article should be something like "Fingertip infection", with subsections for the different types. Ciotog 08:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
