Paronychia

Paronychia is an infection caused after bacteria and/ or microbes are able to penetrate the nail due to a cut, wound or fissure. This condition can occur in the fingers or toes and causes inflammation in one or more of the three nail folds.
So I have Paronychia, now what?
1. warm foot soaks with or without Burow solution or 1% acetic acid
2. See your doctor if the infection doesn't go away or gets worse (pus filled abscess, inflammation, heat or increasing redness around the nail)
