Abstract
The inflammation of the tissue that immediately surrounds the nail is referred to as paronychia. Paronychia develops when the protective barrier between the nail plate and the neighbouring nail fold is disrupted, either by infectious or noninfectious reasons. It is possible for paronychia to be an acute or chronic illness. Acute paronychia is typically brought on by bacterial infections and results from the skin's decreased ability to protect itself. Pemphigus vulgaris, fungus, viruses, and trauma (finger sucking) are some more motives. Comparatively speaking to acute paronychia, chronic paronychia is multifactorial. Patients who have diabetes, psoriasis, maceration, or have been exposed to irritants or injuries that either compromise the integrity of the epidermal barrier or reduce local resistance are more likely to report this syndrome. The pathogenesis, aetiology, medical treatment, and diagnosis of paronychia are all covered in this review article.
