To completely cure paronychia, a comprehensive treatment approach is necessary. Medication therapy serves as the foundation, including topical antibiotic ointments such as mupirocin and fusidic acid cream, as well as oral antibiotics like amoxicillin and roxithromycin, which help eliminate bacteria and reduce inflammation. For severe or recurrent cases, surgical treatment is essential, such as incision and drainage of abscesses or nail avulsion, effectively removing the infection source and preventing the spread of infection. Additionally, physical therapies such as infrared therapy or ultrashort wave irradiation can improve blood circulation and accelerate wound healing. In daily life, preventive measures are also crucial, such as avoiding excessive nail trimming, maintaining personal hygiene, and using gentle skincare products to reduce the risk of recurrence. Through the integrated application of medication therapy, surgical treatment, physical therapy, and preventive measures, paronychia can be effectively cured.
