Patient's question:
2 Eighteen-year-old baby has started biting nails after one 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 reviewed at the hospital.Doctor's answer:
Recurring this condition is also a manifestation of paronychia, requiring timely and appropriate treatment based on the situation to promote a thorough recovery of health. After this condition reappears, it is primarily necessary to promptly use povidone-iodine for sterilization and resolution, while also taking care to prevent the wound from getting wet. In the case of significant inflammation, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment.
