Whether or not you need to have your nails extracted depends on the situation, but generally if an abscess develops in the nail groove, it is necessary to have your nails extracted. If an abscess forms, surgery is often required. Especially when the abscess is at the root of the nail, nail extraction is required, and some or all of the nails are often separated and pulled out to facilitate drainage of the abscess; if the abscess does not involve the root of the nail, longitudinal incision and drainage of the paronychia can be carried out, and nail extraction can not be carried out. If the abscess does not involve the nail root, a longitudinal incision can be made to drain the paronychium, and nail extraction can be avoided. Some patients can also undergo infrared light and other physical therapy, and generally do not need to pull out the nail treatment. It is recommended to consult a doctor in time, under the guidance of the doctor to choose the appropriate treatment plan according to their own conditions. The use of specific drugs should be under the guidance of the doctor.
