What is Paronychia?

An ingrown toenail can also cause paronychia. Moisture allows certain germs, such as candida (a type of fungus) and bacteria to grow. Paronychia is nail inflammation that may result from trauma, irritation or infection. It can affect fingernails or toenails.

What causes Paronychia?

• Germs (bacteria) - These tend to cause sudden-onset (acute) paronychia which is painful. A bacterium called Staphylococcus aureus, which often lives harmlessly on our skin, is most often the cause.

• Candida - This is a yeast (a type of fungus) and is another common cause. Paronychia with candida tends to develop slowly and cause persistent (chronic) infection. They do not cause pus to appear.

• Other germs (microbes) -These include viruses and other fungi. They are less common causes.

The ToenailPlus™ Anti Paronychia Relief Oil treats and eliminates causative germs, softens buried toenails and calloused tissue, inhibits ingrown toenails, promotes healthy nail renewal, and straightens the nails.
