Patient's question:
2 Eighteen-year-old baby has started biting nails after a month. Today, I noticed pus in the cuticle of the right index finger and redness and swelling at the fingertip. I used a needle to pick it open and drained the pus, then applied iodine. Is this paronychia? What kind of care and treatment is needed! Not yet seen at the hospital for follow-up.Doctor's answer:
Recurring this condition is also a manifestation of paronychia, requiring timely symptomatic treatment to promote a thorough recovery of health. After this condition reappears, it is primarily necessary to promptly use povidone-iodine for sterilization and resolution based on the situation. At the same time, attention should be paid to preventing the wound from coming into contact with water. In the case of significant inflammation, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment.
