Paronychia :twisted: may cause swelling, tenderness, and redness of the area around the nail. Nails may be discolored and may grow abnormally. Pus :cus: may leak from the cuticles, which are the thin layers of skin that cover the edges of a nail.
Following are some common causes of paronychia :twisted: : · repeated injury of the cuticle skin, such as in vigorous manicures · repetitive soaking of hands in water at work or at home · excessive hand washing, especially when the hands are not dried properly
Paronychia :twisted: is more common in a person who is prone to bacterial and yeast infections, such as an individual who has diabetes. Repeated bouts of paronychia are common.
Paronychia :twisted: can be minimized by avoiding prolonged soaking in water and by drying the hands well after hand washing.
The organisms :alien: that cause paronychia :twisted: are not usually passed to other people. However, the use of manicure tools that have not been sterilized can transmit the infection.
