It is not recommended to treat nail groove inflammation by oneself, and can be treated with oral medication, topical medication and surgical treatment as prescribed by the doctor.
1. Oral medication: If the patient is only red, swollen, painful nail grooves, you can take oral cefuroxime, metronidazole and other drugs under the guidance of the doctor to fight infection, while taking multivitamins to increase immunity.
2. Topical medication: If the foci of onychomycosis are pus-filled and broken, you need to use topical anti-infective ointment, such as mupirocin cream, clindamycin phosphate gel, etc., to smear the affected area under the advice of the doctor to avoid aggravation of the symptoms.
3. Surgical treatment: If the deep infection or abscess of inguinitis is formed, it is necessary to make a longitudinal incision to drain the abscess at the obvious place of the inguinal abscess, and change the medication regularly in order to prevent the occurrence of infection. If pus has accumulated under the nail bed to affect drainage, partial nail resection or nail extraction can be considered.
Patients with onychomycosis should keep the affected area of the skin clean, follow the doctor’s prescription of regular medication, and regular follow-up.
