What CPT code do I use for this? Nothing I have found seems to fit.

Procedures:
Discussed the risks and benefits of drainage of a suspected paronychia. Patient gave his verbal consent. The left thumb was cleaned with Hibiclens and using an 18-gauge needle, a small hole was made in the nail. A large amount of white discharge was expressed. A bandage was applied
 
I saw that, but 10060 and 10061 are for an excision and drainage of a paronychia.
This is a puncture without the aspiration.
