Swelling on the edge of thumb nail

If the nails are too long, it will affect your daily life, but if the nails are cut too short, it can easily lead to paronychia, so we should be gentle with our toes in our daily lives. Our feet bear the weight of our bodies, so a pair of shoes that fit well is very important to our health. Especially for female friends, don’t wear very high shoes just for the sake of beauty, as it is not good for your feet.

3 ways to easily cause "paronychia", don't do it anymore!

Paronychia does not change with age; children, adults, and the elderly can suffer from paronychia.

Nail clippers are too short

Many people like to cut their nails very short, which looks more hygienic. However, if the nails are cut too short, infection may occur. Sometimes bleeding may occur during the trimming process, leading to paronychia.

Like to pull out thorns

Frequent work or other reasons may cause hangnails on the edges of nails. Many people choose to pull them out directly, but this often causes infection. The nail groove is actually very fragile. If you are not careful, it will be infected with fungi, leading to paronychia.

Often wear shoes that are tight

Sometimes I like a pair of shoes but they don’t have the right size, so I would rather wear the shoes that are too tight than give up. Although shoes are worn on the feet, often wearing shoes that squeeze the feet, especially women who like to wear pointed shoes, is more likely to cause infection in the toenails and lead to paronychia.

Paronychia Prevention

Don't cut your nails too short

When you trim your nails, be careful not to trim them too short. Just be as moderate as possible, especially cutting the flesh close to the nail is the worst way.

The sides of the nails should not be too sharp

Whether you are cutting toenails or fingernails, be sure to cut the nails flat and rounded. Do not make the sides of the nails too sharp, as this can easily scratch the nails and cause paronychia.

Paronychia is a relatively common nail disease. You can avoid its occurrence by paying more attention to it.
