Can paronychia heal on its own?

The problem of paronychia affects and torments many people. Some people may wonder whether paronychia can be cured without any treatment. In fact, it will not heal on its own without intervention treatment. Once these symptoms are found, you should go to a professional medical institution for treatment.

1. Regarding the idea that paronychia can heal itself, experts generally respond with a negative statement. Experts believe that any type of paronychia cannot be cured by itself without drug treatment. On the contrary, if it is not treated in time, it will become more and more serious. In mild cases, it will only cause redness, swelling and pus discharge, while in severe cases, ingrown nails will form. It is correct for experts to deny that paronychia can heal itself.

2. Experts recommend that if you have paronychia, you should seek timely treatment. Don't fantasize that paronychia will heal on its own, as this will only increase the harm. However, for purulent and ingrown paronychia, there will be no therapeutic effect without professional medicine to treat paronychia. Be sure to go to a professional medical institution for good treatment.
