Patient's question:
Hello doctor, the skin around the baby's fingernails at home keeps peeling off. Please give some good advice.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: It is likely caused by inflammation. Generally, this happens when the nails are cut too short, causing the newly grown nails to grow into the flesh, leading to pain and swelling. This can affect daily life.For the swelling, you can apply povidone-iodine externally. Avoid frequent contact with water. If it's severe, you can take anti-inflammatory medication orally. If there is pus formation, drainage may be necessary. It's important to cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
I recommend seeking treatment at a professional hospital.
