Paronychia is almost always caused by invaginated nails. In layman's terms, toenail grows into the flesh, and early manifestations are acupuncture-like pain. Later, due to ingrown toenails causing damage to the nails, coupled with poor hygiene habits, it is easy to cause An infection of the nails of the sulcus, with local redness, swelling, and heat, accompanied by severe pain, and purulent secretion even after discharge. Experts observed that the vast majority of parotitis occurred in the thumb, especially in the lateral nail groove of the hallux toenail, and was mostly caused by poor nail toning habits.

Case round toenail, pointed shoes "forced" paronychia
Ms. Zhang, who was in her early 30s, was a fashionable woman who was very particular about her appearance. Even in the winter, the feet in pointed high-heeled shoes have to be taken care of from time to time. But what made her feel even more troubled was that the crotch of her thumb was red and swollen from time to time, and it was painful to walk. When the pain was not enough, she had to temporarily give up the pointed shoes.
Recently, this old fault was again committed. Ms. Zhang wondered if there was a problem with her own big toe bones. When she went to the hospital for an examination, she found that the toenail with the original thumb was too round and was embedded in the meat. When wearing pointed shoes, Squeeze to the side of the toenails, so that the toenail grows inside the soft tissue of the ditch. It is forced out of the paronychia. Fortunately, her symptoms of nail sulcus are still relatively light, not to the point of severe pain and pus, and there is no need to pull a treatment.
At the doctor’s suggestion, Ms. Zhang gave up her beloved pointed shoes and applied them regularly with disinfectant and ointment and syrup, which quickly “eliminated†the illness.
Experts are often caused by manicures and bad shoes
"If you have gastroptosis, drooping kidneys, hyperosteogeny, and hemorrhoids since the humans walked and walked, then it's almost because the humans started to wear shoes. It's the tip of the shoe that's squeezing up, down, left, and right. According to Yu Weihua, surgeon of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, clinical observation found that the vast majority of parotitis occurs in the thumb of the foot, and the outer caudal sulcus of the foot is particularly common. At 3 times, there are also patients with double thumb insets or double thumb inlays. It is generally believed that the occurrence of inGlasia is related to the following factors:
1. Toenail cut into circular arc
This is the most important cause. Generally, the cause of ingrown toenails is mainly due to people's poor pruning habits. Usually, in order to adapt to the shape of the fingers, and in order to be beautiful, the toenail is trimmed into a circular arc, and the toenails are two. The side edge of the horn is trimmed off to try to eliminate the horn. After trimming this horn, a new horn will be formed at the back. You will never be able to destroy the horn, and the more you fix the horn, the more the horn curls inwards. At this time, if you wear a pair of pointed shoes, you will squeeze a ditch into the horn, and the horn will be embedded in the "meat", resulting in inlays.
2. Toe tight
More common in female patients, wearing high-heeled shoes, such as very popular pepper shoes. Squeeze the lateral edges of the toenails into the soft tissue of the foramen, and rub the nails and folds to create soft tissue swelling and intensification. There are also young people, fast-growing, just bought new shoes, a few months is small, if you are reluctant to lose your beloved shoes, had to bend their feet, which increases the chance for the toes to squeeze.
3. Trauma
The tear of the deck caused by kicking or being stepped on by others caused the side edge of the deck to be closer to the soft tissue of the ditch and form the ingrown armor, more commonly seen by young students.
Associate Professor Li Xining of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine added that ingrown toenails are also associated with congenital local malformations such as toe valgus, dystrophy, thick nail disease, and onychomycosis. However, the above three major causes are more common in the clinic. It is recommended that readers suffering from epigastric incontinence may wish to check it out and try to avoid it.
Prevention of leaving a square A easy to prevent paronychia
For people with toenail prone to paronychia, experts have given simple and practical advice: as long as the proper length of toenails, keep your feet clean, generally can effectively avoid.
Yu Weihua also gave tips for trimming toenail. He pointed out that people usually cut their toenails in a manner that cuts the end of the toenail and the "meat" apart, so that often the toenail is cut into circular arcs, and the nail horn is also aimed at your "meat" and is squeezed. Pressure will be embedded in the "meat" and become a paronychia. He suggested that the next time you trim your toenails, don't cut off the separate toenail, but leave two corners to make the previous circular arc shape an approximate square. Then the horns stay outside the "meat" and they will not be embedded in the "meat".
Treatment of armor does not cure the paronychia
At present, clinically there are approximately the following steps in the treatment of various degrees of paronychia:
1. Non-surgical and traditional medical treatment: For patients with mild inflammation and short duration of illness, they may be disinfected with iodine, or wet with alcohol, or with fish-and-lipid ointment, Baidubang ointment, or Shuangbosan.
2. A: This is a common method for the treatment of paronychia. However, experts pointed out that in fact, armor removal does not cure paronychia. Since the extracted nail clips grow again, if you continue to cut the toenail into a circular shape, the nail clips will continue to grow in the meat, and then there will be ingrown nails, pain, and paronychia. If you do not change the bad habits of manicures and wearing shoes, the general disease may relapse after about 3 months after pulling.
3. Analgous fissure: Reshape a brand new ditch to solve the problem of curly growth of the nail piece. Some people think that doing so can cure the paronychia. However, experts emphasized that the curly growth of the nail piece is due to other factors. If the tip of the nail is squeezed from the top to the bottom, the toenail may curl again.
