Subject: Podiatry help

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated:

The patient enters with discomfort on the medial borders of the right and left hallux nails. There was a slight incurvation and erythema with these areas. An incision and drainage of the offending borders was undertaken. A bedioguin was applied to the affected areas. He is to keep it in place for approximately twenty-four hours and then reevaluate it. If he has any problems, he is to contact our office for further treatment.

Does anyone have an idea as to what this might be? It also sounds like pedioguin or maybe podiaguin? I don't have a clue!!
