The pain of kicking your toes to the foot of the table, everyone has experienced it, right?
Probably can beat the sudden cramps of sleeping, eating and biting the tongue or something, and occupy the top of the list of "unbearable pain in life".
But there is an upgraded version of the pain, only a few "lucky ones" can appreciate.
Can't run, can't go fast, take a step like a knife tip, big toe lightly touch the slippers can be in place to ascend to heaven.
That's right, that's A! ditch! flame!

Don't look at these three words, but the length and pain it brings is unforgettable.
Because the fingers and toes are richly distributed with capillaries and nerve tissue, if there is pain in these places, you can poke straight to the tear point!
Pain is painful, or you can find a way to solve it, first understand, and then find a good way to deal with it.
Paronychia is actually very easy to understand, that is, "paronychia inflammation".
There is a sunken structure in our skin along the sides of the toenails (nails) called the nail groove, and when inflammation occurs in the area where the toenails (nails) connect with the surrounding soft tissues occurs, it is called "paronychiasis".
But paronychia is not achieved overnight, and there are also priorities
"Paronychia is divided into acute and chronic"
Acute onset, the disease progresses relatively quickly (duration less than 6 weeks).
Usually because the nail bed is infected by bacteria secondary to minimal trauma (mainly Staphylococcus aureus, but also Streptococcus pyogenes, etc.).
Initial symptoms are redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the nails, and after a few days they begin to suppurate, as well as a feeling of fluctuation (the feeling of letting go of the hand after touching, and the liquid moving the skin).
If acute paronychia continues to develop, inflammation can spread throughout the paronychia and even form a subparathyroid abscess.
As the name suggests, the disease progresses relatively slowly (lasting more than 6 weeks).
Usually due to repeated minor trauma and prolonged immersion in water, irritants, and allergic substances.
Redness, swelling, and pain are relatively mild, but symptoms can suddenly worsen.
The peristalaphrytic skin and the deck will be separated, and there will also be changes in the shape of the nail surface, such as the nails becoming uneven, grooved, discolored, and the deck hypertrophy.
First, daily bad behavior habits
Wear inappropriate shoes for a long time
Size 39 Big foot is hard tucked into size 37 shoes, with a small toe and long-term high heels.
Let the toenails be tortured, prompting the toes to be squeezed and rubbed by external forces for a long time, and it is easy to form inlay nails to damage the nail grooves, and bacteria are easy to invade.
Frequent manicures
The disinfection of nail tools is not thorough, and the high heat of the nail art process will directly damage the barrier of the surface layer of the nail, making the nail and the surrounding skin become dry and fragile. It is also easy to increase the chance of bacterial infection.
Improperly trimmed nails
Obsessive-compulsive disorder type: nails over the fingertips will be uncomfortable, not at all, no, can, stay!
Beauty-loving type: Cut your nails into a circular shape and think that your hands are more beautiful.
Not according to the common sense type: suddenly do not play cards according to the routine, directly start pulling hard, one accidentally even pulled out the armor with skin.
In the end, a sentence was fulfilled: many paronychia around the toenails (nails) were cut by themselves.
Tear the "barbs" and bite the nails
Tearing down the thorn is refreshing for a while, but it hurts for a long time.
These behaviors can cause skin damage that destroys the relatively closed nail structure, causes infection of finger/toenail folds and peridotychalloid tissue, and it is difficult not to suffer from paronychia.
There are also some "nail bite" enthusiasts or some toddlers who like to eat their fingers, is there sugar on the fingers?
As everyone knows, sugar is not there, but there are a bunch of bacteria, and in the long run, there will be a possibility of nail deformity.
2. Trauma
For example, usually do not pay attention, the fingernails are squeezed by the door, knife cut, nail clippings are injured, the foot is stepped on, the ball is bruised or hit by a heavy object, etc., resulting in nail groove or nail bed tissue damage, resulting in damage, secondary bacterial infection.
3. Wet/wading working environment
For example, cooks, housewives, fishermen, cleaners, etc., because the toenails (nails) are soaked in water for a long time, causing the nail folds to become soft, the gap between the soft tissues and the nails becomes larger, and bacteria begin to invade the toenails, and over time, chronic paronychia is formed.
Important things to say three times:
Don't go to pedicure shops!
Treatment of paronychia requires a sterile operating environment, and pedicures generally do not meet strict standards, which may cause worsening symptoms or cause other infections.
The correct way is to go to the top three hospitals in time, listen to the advice of professional skin doctors, and cooperate with doctors to actively treat.
Acute paronychia
Acute paronychia must be managed promptly, and if left unchecked, it may evolve into perynyroiditis, or a subparathyroid abscess, and the pain will be exacerbated.
Acute paronychia with mild symptoms can be soaked in warm water for 20 minutes three times a day, after soaking with mopirocin ointment or fusidic acid cream.
If the symptoms are more severe, it is best to cooperate with oral antibiotics, if there is an abscess condition, it is necessary to cut open and drain the drainage to facilitate faster recovery.
Chronic paronychia
Topical glucocorticoid ointments or calcineurin inhibitors may be used, and if the effect is not good, antifungal therapy may be tried.
(Note: The above treatment methods should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and remember not to treat themselves, so as not to backfire and aggravate the symptoms.) ）
In addition, if paronychia is combined with nail inlays, if you want to relieve the pain of nail inlays at a low cost, you can put a small cotton ball under the fingernails (toes) to relieve stress.
This method can be performed at home after being guided by a doctor to help speed up the healing of the disease.
Don't let your toes be wronged, don't wear inappropriate shoes, barely really will not be happy.
"Move your mind" on the nails, it is better to wear it at points (it is necessary to have nail art, it is recommended that the frequency be reduced, nail art 1-2 times a month).
Grow barbs, manage your hands and mouth, don't use your hands to tear and bite, cut off with nail clippings, and apply hand cream to moisturize.
If you need to work in a humid environment, you can wear gloves or rain boots to prevent it.
Treat superficial scratches, abrasions, and cracks around the toenails (nails) in a timely manner to avoid "fission".
As for nail clipping, you need to be "merciful under the hand", leaving 1-2 mm, the correct way to cut nails is as shown below.
The secrets are told to you ~ ~ the end of the article is a look, may you and paronychia say goodbye!
