Paronychia and ingrown toenail

Extract

• Acute paronychia usually responds well to simple drainage of the abscess without the need for systemic antimicrobials.

• An ingrown toenail can be treated with conservative methods in mild cases. In more severe cases, partial nail avulsion is often required.
