What should I do if I develop paronychia in my toe during pregnancy?
Disease description:
I'm three months pregnant and have developed paronychia on my toe. Can I take medication for it, and will it affect the fetus? What should I do about paronychia during pregnancy?
Pregnant women with paronychia on their toes can treat it by applying iodophor or alcohol. During pregnancy, oral medications for paronychia should be avoided as much as possible; instead, topical treatments or surgical interventions are recommended. Due to the special physiological state of pregnancy, any treatment should prioritize the safety of both mother and fetus. Patients with paronychia mainly need regular disinfection with iodophor; when necessary, incision and drainage of abscesses are required to achieve optimal therapeutic results.
