There is pain at the junction of the fingernail and the flesh, which can be cleaned with iodophor or applied with hydrogen peroxide on the painful area. If there is pain at the connection between the nail and the flesh, it is likely caused by local inflammation. During the treatment process, try not to squeeze the nail area and pay attention to hand hygiene. Treatment methods:
1. If there is no redness or swelling at the connecting area, regular disinfection can be considered, such as using iodophor, alcohol, or soaking in warm water. Many people can heal themselves once the sharp part of the nail grows out.
2. However, if the redness and swelling are severe, it is recommended to disinfect the inflamed area with iodophor and apply some ointment for anti-inflammatory effect. Dental floss can be considered to drain the pus and accelerate healing.
3. If the symptoms continue to worsen or the desired treatment effect is not achieved, nail extraction may be necessary. Removing the entire nail and allowing it to regrow can reduce irritation to the surrounding tissues and avoid recurrence of paronychia.
4. It is recommended not to cut the nails too short, as this can easily induce paronychia and ingrown nails. Generally, it is recommended to leave 1-2 millimeters of white margin on the nails.
5. Regularly soak hands and feet in warm water. Maintain good hygiene of hands and feet in daily life, keep the skin dry, and strengthen physical exercise.
