Cuticle inflammation (paronychia): symptoms and treatment

  1. What is cuticle infection or paronychia and what can you do about cuticle infection? An inflammation of the fold of skin around a finger or toenail (nail wall) is called paronychia, or cuticle inflammation. The nail wall becomes painful (to the touch) and swells, either suddenly - called acute paronychia - or gradually - called chronic paronychia. This depends on the cause. The condition can - certainly if left untreated - affect one or more nails. The treatment of paronychia consists of medicines and self-care measures. Only rarely is surgical treatment required. In mild cases of cuticle inflammation, a bath with soda several times a day can help.
