As long as the toes are slightly damaged or broken, wipe or soak the affected toes with iodine, 4-6 times a day, each time15-20 minutes, until the skin turns white, and use the disinfection effect of iodine to corrode the diseased skin tissue and make it grow again to prevent paronychia.

Traditional Chinese medicine application

External application of traditional Chinese medicine is a kind of conservative treatment, which has the functions of detumescence, analgesia and detoxification, and is suitable for early patients with paronychia. General hospitals apply fish fat ointment or Sanhuang powder to the affected area. Zhang Yingchun, Deputy Chief Physician of Chinese Medicine Department of Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital, prepared "Quyu Ointment", which has obvious curative effect on newly suppurated toes. A course of "Quyu Ointment" is about 90 yuan, and eating hair is prohibited at the same time.

nail pulling

In fact, nail pulling can't cure paronychia, especially paronychia caused by ingrown toenails, because the two sides of toenails curl and grow into the meat, and when walking, the soft tissue on the edge of toenails will be cut, forming "ingrown toenails" and finally causing paronychia. Nail removal can only remove the deck, but has no effect on nail groove and nail bed. The newly grown nail plate will continue to grow into the meat, and it is also nail ingrowth, pain and paronychia. There have been records of patients pulling out their nails four or five times a year.
