What should I do if my toenails grow into my flesh?

Long nails are a disease called paronychia, which needs to be seen in a hospital. \x0d\ paronychia is mostly caused by stab wounds, abrasions, nail ingrowth or "inverted skin prickles" in the nail groove and its adjacent tissues. Subungual abscess is often caused by the spread of paronychia, infection caused by subungual stab wound or secondary infection caused by fingertip crush injury. The main pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus. \x0d\ Early measures such as hot compress, physical therapy and external application can be adopted, and iodoamines or antibiotics can be used. \x0d\ If there is pus, longitudinal incision and drainage can be made at the nail groove. When the infection has involved the subcutaneous periphery of the nail root, vertical incision can be made in the nail groove on both sides, and the nail root epithelial sheet can be turned up to remove the nail root, and a small piece of vaseline gauze or latex sheet can be placed for drainage. If pus has accumulated under the nail bed, remove the nails or cut off the nails on the pus cavity. Pay attention to avoid damaging the nail bed when pulling out nails, so as to avoid new nail deformity in the future.
