Nails may develop inflammation and infection called paronychia. Paronychia may be acute (<6 weeks) or chronic (> 6 weeks). In the case of acute paronychia is often caused by a bacterial infection whereas in chronic cases it can also be caused by a fungal infection.
The festering nails appear as a result of complications from bacterial infections. A pus bag will form called an abscess. Abscesses are handled by removing pus, clearing the infected tissue and administering antibiotics.
To ensure the condition you are experiencing, of course require a direct examination by the doctor. If necessary will be performed investigations such as blood tests or X-rays. We recommend that the symptoms immediately checked to the doctor before the condition gets worse.
Nail abscesses will generally be removed by performing an incision procedure (incision). Of course, anesthesia (local anesthesia) will be done by injection (injection) so that patients do not feel pain when the procedure is done. After the procedure is done, the patient can usually go home immediately and given antibiotics and pain relievers.
