The key points of prevention and control are as follows:
1, be sure to be loose in front of your shoes, never wear shoes that pinch your feet too much, and keep your toes moving in the room.
2, toenails should not be cut too short, especially on both sides of the nail groove, to be smooth, the free edge of toenails should be square, not round, not pointed. Prevent toenails from growing into the meat, causing toenails to grow inward.
3. If you have suffered from ingrown toenails, you should always find a professional pedicure, and don't wait too long to repair them. If necessary, it should be handled by professional soft armor.
4, usually take good care of the skin around the toenails, so as not to cause any harm to them, and you can't pull out the "barb" by hand.
5, nip in the bud. Wood thorn, bamboo thorn, etc. They are all foreign bodies that are most likely to stab nail groove in daily life. Be extra careful when you take part in labor or are busy with housework.
6. Pay attention to the maintenance of fingers (toes) at ordinary times, and rub some vaseline or skin cream before going to bed after washing your hands, which can enhance the disease resistance of the skin around the nail groove.
4. It is very important to prevent paronychia when there are minor injuries, and once it happens, it should be actively treated. When there is a minor injury, you can apply 2% iodine and wrap it with a band-aid to prevent infection.
5, early paronychia can be hot compress, physical therapy, external use of fish fat ointment or Sanhuang powder, if necessary, take sulfonamides or antibiotics.
6. If there is suppuration, you should go to the hospital to cut and drain the pus in time. To prevent phalangeal osteomyelitis caused by the spread of infection.
7. If there is pus under the nail, the nail should be removed to facilitate full drainage and complete cure.
Iodine daubing and soaking:
As long as the toes are slightly injured or damaged, you can wipe or soak the affected toes with iodine, 4-6 times a day, each time 15-20 minutes, until the skin turns white. The disinfection effect of iodine will corrode the diseased skin tissue and make it grow again, thus preventing paronychia. After wiping with 2% iodine, wrap it with a band-aid to prevent infection.
It is suggested that nail plastic surgery should be carried out after paronychia is completely controlled.
