What is used for soaking feet with paronychia?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know what's going on with my skin. It's dry, itchy, and has white spots and red dots. It's very uncomfortable. What foot soak can be used for paronychia?

Doctor's answer:

If there is no discharge or pus from paronychia, you can soak your feet in hot water every night, or use potassium permanganate solution to soak your feet, or use metronidazole solution to soak your feet. Rest more during the day, walk less, wear comfortable shoes, and take oral cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs. Apply topical macrolide anti-inflammatory ointment. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat less spicy food. In severe cases, surgical treatment can be performed.
