Paronychia is a common skin infection that develops around nails or nails. This condition may be acute (ie sudden start) or chronic (ie gradually start).
Acute paronychia (fresh fingers) is associated with bacteria that enter the skin fold after injury in a bite, aggressive manicure, and finger sucking. It developed for hours and the folds of the nails turned red, painful and inflamed. Yellow pus may also form under the stratum corneum separating the nail from the skin. Staphylococcus aureus is the most commonly affected bacteria, but other bacteria include Streptococcus and Pseudomonas.
Chronic paronychia occurs gradually and is more difficult to treat. The skin around the nails is moist, and the swelling is not as important as acute paronychia. Variants of this disease are associated with prolonged exposure to water, detergents and other chemicals. Activities such as dishes, fishing, cleaning and cocktails increase the risk of chronic paronychia. People with diabetes are also more likely. The infection is caused by a mixture of yeast and bacteria, especially a fungus called Candida. The infection can start from the folds of the nails, but as each affected fold spreads to other people and swells and rises above the nails. The nail can get a green color change.
Acute paronychia (fresh fingers) can be treated by immersing the fingers and toes in a mixture of 50% warm water and 50% liquid antibacterial soap for at least 15 minutes, 3-4 times a day. In more severe cases, when symptoms do not improve, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics such as dicloxacillin, erythromycin, and cephalexin. If the nails accumulate, the doctor should anesthetize the affected area and drain the pus through the incision. It may be necessary to remove some nails. Chronic paronychia is usually treated with antifungal drugs such as clotrimazole and ketoconazole. Other precautions include avoiding nail biting, frequent hand washing, wearing rubber gloves and controlling diabetes.
Once the immune response is diminished, the conditions become favorable for Candida proliferation, and its overgrowth causes the above symptoms of candidiasis. Many factors can cause yeast to proliferate, leading to candidiasis.
These factors include the use of antibiotics and steroids; pregnancy, menstrual or menopausal changes in hormonal balance; existing diseases such as diabetes, cancer or AIDS; skin lesions such as sputum and small lesions; stress and poor diet.
Sometimes triggers are as simple as using some detergent or shower that can cause an inflammatory reaction. Even wearing tight jeans or synthetic underwear can cause yeast infections.
It is important to understand your body and understand the causes of candidiasis. In this way, you can look for treatments that may cause the underlying disease (such as diabetes) or avoid the cause of recurrence.
The best way to manage recurrent candidiasis and eliminate its symptoms forever is to take a holistic approach to managing it. As a first step, it is best to seek medical care to ensure that the symptoms you are suffering from are actually caused by Candida albicans. Doctors can easily identify symptoms of candidiasis, but you can send samples to the lab for analysis. The doctor may prescribe a prescription to treat various infection symptoms.
However, patients with symptoms of recurrent candidiasis self-diagnose and self-treat using more natural therapies than the drugs prescribed by the doctor. To eliminate yeast symptoms forever, you may need to change your lifestyle. These changes include changing diets, reducing stress, increasing exercise, increasing sleep, and using certain natural therapies that help reduce or eliminate the symptoms of candidiasis.
