When nail infections are characterized by significant localized abscesses with fluctuating sensations, the pus can be excised and drained. Nail infections are mainly caused by bacterial infections, most commonly Staphylococcus aureus, and are triggered by excessive nail trimming, frequent manicurists and nail biters. In the early stage, local topical antibiotic creams can be used, and those with serious conditions can systematically use sensitive antibiotics. In the late stage, when abscesses and pain are particularly obvious, it is appropriate to choose surgical incision and drainage of pus, which is conducive to the rapid recovery of the condition, so as to avoid the possibility of continued aggravation of infection and bacteremia. At this time, fire acupuncture is also a good choice. Most patients with recurrent nail infections are associated with ingrown nails. If the recurrent nail infections are caused by ingrown nails, surgery is usually recommended to eradicate the ingrown nails so as to avoid recurrent attacks of nail infections.
