How long does it take for a nail infection to heal

The exact recovery time for onychomycosis depends on the severity of the condition, about 5~15 days, some need a longer time. Inflammatory reaction of the skin and soft tissues around the nail, if no abscess is formed and no purulent secretion is caused, it will gradually recover in 5~7 days after timely treatment; if pus is formed and the pus can not be discharged by itself, it needs to be treated by incision and drainage or nail extraction, and the recovery time will be longer, which may take about 10~15 days. Some chronic inguinitis may recur, and the primary disease should be actively treated to avoid the disease from lingering on. You need to go to the hospital in time for checkups for early detection and treatment, which will help you recover from the disease.
