    Positive Rating: 100% This is paronychia. Paronychia is caused by the incorrect growth direction of the toe (finger) nail, which causes inflammation, redness, swelling, pain, pus and other symptoms of the toe (finger) paranail.

    After a long period of inflammation, the tissue produces granulomas, which makes the toe (finger) nail sink deeper and deeper, and it is not easy to heal itself. It is more common in large trump toes. **:

    Soak in warm water, rub medicine, antibiotics. If there is no improvement, surgery** is required. Surgery involves cutting off part of the nail to remove the granulation, and usually does not have to remove the toenail extraction.

    Sometimes**. Paronychia focuses on prevention, and once it occurs, it should be aggressive**. The key points of prevention and control are as follows:

    1. Usually take care of the ** around the nails, so that they are not damaged in any way, the nails should not be cut too short, and the "barbs" can not be pulled out by hand. 2 Prevention is better than prevention. Wooden thorns, bamboo thorns, sewing needles, fish bone spurs, etc. are the most common foreign objects that are most likely to puncture the nail groove in daily life, so you should be extra careful when participating in labor or busy with housework.

    3 Pay attention to the maintenance of your fingers, wash your hands and rub some petroleum jelly or skin care cream before going to bed, which can enhance the disease resistance around the nail groove. 4 If there is a slight injury to the finger, apply 2 iodine and bandage it with a band-aid to prevent infection. 5 In the early stage of paronychia, hot compresses, physiotherapy, external application of ichthyroid ointment or Sanhuangsan, and sulfonamides or antibiotics can be taken if necessary.

    6 If it has suppurated, it should be cut in time at the hospital to drain the pus. Prevents the spread of infection and causes osteomyelitis of the phalanges. 7 If there is subungual empyema, the nail should be removed to allow for adequate drainage and thoroughness**.

    As long as the toe is slightly traumatized or damaged, rub or soak the affected toe with iodine wine, 4 6 times a day, 15 20 minutes each time, until it turns white, and use the disinfection effect of iodine wine to corrode the diseased tissue and let it grow again to prevent paronychia. Traditional Chinese medicine compress Chinese medicine application is a conservative method, the function is to reduce swelling, pain relief, detoxification, suitable for patients with early paronychia. Generally, hospitals apply fish stone ointment or Sanhuang powder to the affected area.

    Zhang Yingchun, deputy chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Hubei Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital, prepared the "anti-stasis ointment", which has obvious effect on the toes that have just suppurated, and the "anti-stasis ointment" is about 90 yuan for a course of treatment. Nail extraction In fact, nail extraction does not lead to paronychia, especially paronychia caused by ingrown nails, because the toenail pieces are curled on both sides and grow into the flesh, which will cut the soft tissue at the edge of the nail pieces when walking, forming "ingrown nails", and finally causing paronychia. Nail extraction can only remove nail pieces, which has no effect on nail groove and nail bed, and the newly grown nail pieces will still continue to grow into the flesh, and they are still ingrown nails, pain, and paronychia, and there have been records of patients pulling nails four or five times a year.

    Trouble, thanks!

    You're talking about a common foot disease called "paronychia", so don't be nervous. Paronychia is purulent inflammation of the tissues around the nail, usually caused by a small scratch or tearing of the paraungual side of the toe.

    At the beginning of the infection, redness, swelling, and pain occur on the side of the nail sulcus, and then the inflammation spreads to the entire nail area and causes suppuration. Pus sometimes breaks through the nail sulcus on its own, but it does not heal for a long time due to poor drainage of pus, and it becomes chronic paronychia. If the pus extends under the fingernail, a subungual abscess is formed, which is so painful that the nail can separate from the nail bed.

    Health education: 1. When there is only local redness and swelling, you can soak the affected finger (toe) in hot water, 2-3 times a day, 20 minutes each time, and then wipe and disinfect the affected area with 2% iodine tincture and iodine. 2. External application of fish stone ointment and oral antibacterial drugs.

    3. If pus has appeared under the nail groove, it should be cut and drained, and if a subungual abscess has been formed, the affected nail (toe) should be removed in time, and the dressing should be changed on time until healing. 4. Patients suffering from toenail chiquenitis should wear loose soft shoes or slippers to reduce friction and reduce pain. 5. Use clean or special scissors to cut off fingernails and flesh, and some nails embedded in the nail bed should be more careful to avoid injury and infection.

    6. Once there is a wound or a foreign body penetrates, it should be disinfected immediately in the affected area, and the foreign body should be taken out, especially the tiny wooden body is easy to cause infection if it is not taken out in time.

    To unplug. Paronychia has always been bad, mainly because paronychia is reversed, paronychia is due to the patient's usual nail trimming method is incorrect, so that the two ends of the nail are embedded in the flesh on both sides, resulting in local long-term repeated inflammation.

    The nails are ingrown and red, swollen, purulent discharge. In general, ingrown nails are infected and require surgery to remove the whole nail or half of the nail, otherwise it is difficult to heal. If it is a real infection, there is no difference between procrastination and nail pulling, because nail pulling does not affect daily life.

    If paronychia occurs, it is not good for a long time, and you should seize the time to pull out the nails. Be careful not to cut your nails too short and avoid wearing shoes that are too tight.

    Paronychia is mostly caused by subungual abscess caused by punctures, abrasions, ingrown nails or pulling out "inverted skin spurs" in the nail groove and its nearby tissues, and is often caused by the spread of paronychia or infection caused by subungual puncture wounds or finger crush wounds, and the pathogenic bacteria are mainly Staphylococcus aureus.

    Clinical presentation. At the beginning, one side of the nail groove is red, swollen and painful, and it can become purulent and infected in a short time, and it can spread to the root of the nail and the contralateral nail groove to form perionychonicitis, or it can spread to the subungual abscess to form a subungual abscess. At this time, the pain is aggravated, the swelling is obvious, and the yellow-white pus can be seen under the nail to float the nail, if not treated in time, it can develop into purulent dactylitis or even cause osteomyelitis of the phalange, or it can become chronic paronychia, long-lasting paronychia or subungual abscess, because the infection is superficial, so the systemic symptoms are often not obvious.
