Inflammation of the nail is usually painful.
Inflammation of the tissues around the nail is caused by microtrauma to the perinail tissue, resulting in bacterial colonization of the perinail skin, or repeated exposure to an irritant over a long period of time. Patients may experience localized redness, swelling, pain and pus in the periungual tissues, so inguinitis is usually painful.
Patients with onychomycosis should strengthen the protection of the skin around the nail in daily life to avoid damaging the nail folds and nails. The nails should not be cut too short, and the barbs should not be pulled out by hand. If the toe suffers from inguinitis, you should avoid wearing shoes that are too tight to reduce the pressure on the toenail.
When the patient’s nail groin inflammation appears pus or the inflammation is more serious, they should go to the hospital for a step-by-step examination and treatment.
