What medicine should I use for toe suppuration

When the toes are hit hard or the skin is broken, the toes will become festered. This is mainly caused by the growth of bacteria in the toes. To treat toe festers, you need to first clean the festers on the toes, apply ointment after cleaning, and finally wrap them up to prevent bacterial infection again. Let us now understand the correct medication rules for toe suppuration.

Paronychia is a relatively common disease, most of which occurs on the first toe of the foot and is often caused by trauma. For example, ingrown toenails, wearing shoes that are too tight, biting nails, and picking at knife points and gun punctures. When trimming your nails, be careful not to be too harsh on your toenails. Leave enough nails to cover the skin each time you trim them. Especially, don't cut the edges of your toenails into a deep arc, just keep the toenails basically flat. If there are hangnails around the toenails, use a toenail clipper to cut them off completely. Do not try to tear them off with your hands just to be convenient. Wearing pointed or tight shoes will squeeze the side edge of the toenail into the soft tissue of the nail groove, and rub the nail and nail fold, causing soft tissue swelling and aggravating the ingrown toenail. A toe injury can cause the nail plate to tear, causing the side edge of the nail plate to move closer to the soft tissue of the nail groove and form an ingrown nail.

Paronychia is an acute suppurative infection of the hands (feet), which is more common in the thumb (toe). It usually occurs first under the skin of the nail groove on one side, and manifests as redness, swelling, and pain. If not treated in time, it can develop into bilateral infection. In severe cases, the nail (toe) needs to be removed. Paronychia is prone to recurrence, and patients should pay attention to maintenance in their daily lives to prevent recurrence.

Trim your nails frequently, but not too harshly. Trim your nails into an arc shape, leaving no nail tips on either side of the nail groove, and do not trim the nail groove casually. If there are hangnails, they should be cut off from the root with scissors. Do not pull them out forcefully, let alone "bite them with your mouth." Pay attention to the care of your fingers, especially your fingertips. Apply skin care products after each hand washing or before going to bed. In dry seasons, use Vaseline with more oil to enhance the disease resistance of the skin around the nail groove. Be extra careful when working or doing housework to avoid being injured by wood thorns, bamboo thorns, sewing needles, fish bones, etc., which may induce paronychia.

The key to caring for toes is to choose shoes of the right size and fit. Try not to wear pointed high heels to avoid pressure on the nail groove. If you find that the toes are squeezed against each other, use an appropriate amount of sterilized cotton, gauze and other soft objects to separate the toes to prevent the toenails from being embedded in the nail groove. The toenails should not be cut too short to avoid damaging the skin around the nails. When there are minor wounds, apply 2% iodine tincture and then use sterile gauze or Band-Aid to bandage and protect them to avoid infection. Keep your feet clean and dry, and change your shoes and socks in time after wading in summer.

After discovering that paronychia has become festered, it is best to go to the hospital for anti-inflammatory treatment. Try not to touch the affected area with your hands to avoid aggravating the severity of paronychia due to bacterial infection. When wearing shoes, try to choose shoes with good ventilation to avoid bacterial growth and aggravating the severity of paronychia due to long-term lack of air permeability.
