How to effectively treat ingrown toenail paronychia

Ingrown toenail paronychia can occur in the nail groove of the hands and feet. The most important thing is to pay attention to prevention in daily life and pay attention to the hygiene of the nails. When there are some minor injuries in the nail area, you should also pay attention to correct treatment and bandaging to avoid infection.

1. Prevention of paronychia on the hands

1. Pay attention to the hygiene of your hands and nails. Nails should not be too short. Keep your hands dry and clean. Pay attention to operational safety in production and life, and deal with various wounds in time to ensure smooth healing.

2. Take good care of the skin around your nails to avoid damage to your nails, and be careful not to pull out the "hangnails" with your hands.

3. Wood thorns, bamboo thorns, sewing needles, fish bones, etc. are the foreign objects that are most likely to injure the nail groove in daily life, so you should pay attention to prevention.

4. When there are minor injuries on your fingers, you can use a Band-Aid to bandage them to prevent infection.

5. Pay attention to the maintenance of your fingers. Apply some Vaseline or skin care cream after washing your hands and before going to bed to enhance the disease resistance of the skin around the nail groove.

6. Once you find that you have paronychia, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

2. Prevention of foot paronychia

1. Cut toenails frequently and cut them into an arc shape. Do not leave toenails tips on both sides of the nail groove. Do not cut the nail groove casually. If you find that the toes are squeezed against each other, put an appropriate amount of sterilized cotton or soft objects in the gaps between the toes to separate them, so that the toes can develop normally and prevent the toenails from being pressed into the nail groove.

2. Pay attention to the maintenance of your toes and enhance the disease resistance of the skin around the nail groove.

3. Choose shoes that are of appropriate size, fit and light.

4. If paronychia has become purulent, go to the hospital for timely treatment.

5. If you suffer from paronychia, you should seek timely treatment to avoid worsening of the condition and increasing the patient's pain.
