What to do if the nail has pierced into the flesh due to paronychia

There are many people suffering from paronychia in life. Most of them suffer from paronychia because they often cut their nails and cut them very short, which causes the nails to grow into the flesh. When the nails grow into the flesh, it often feels very painful, and it will also become inflamed, red and swollen. In severe cases, pus will even flow. So, what should we do when the paronychia nail has already grown into the flesh? The editor will give you a detailed introduction below.

The pain of having nails grow into the flesh and then having to be cut with nail clippers is something that only people who have experienced it can understand!

To be honest, I have also been deeply troubled by paronychia. At first it was just a little painful when I cut my nails, and later I also felt a little uncomfortable when I walked, and the pain of the nails piercing the flesh was a little unbearable.

Until it finally became inflamed, I was forced to pull out the nail. I would never want to experience that kind of pain a second time, even if I were killed.

Normally, I keep my feet inside my shoes and don’t expose them to others, so I don’t think it’s a big deal. But when you get home and take off your shoes, you will find that your nails have grown into the flesh, which is uncomfortable to look at. If you trim your nails improperly, it can cause inflammation, and in severe cases you'll need to see a doctor.

So how should we deal with paronychia, a minor disease?

If it's uncomfortable for the nails to grow inside the flesh, then we can find a way to make the nails grow outwards.

However, this process will be a little painful. The nail that grows into the flesh will be clamped open with a tool, and then gauze will be placed inside to change the direction of the nail's growth.

Make it thicker after a period of time so that the nails will not grow into the flesh over time.

One thing worth noting is that you must pay attention to disinfection, otherwise it will easily aggravate the inflammation.
