Paronychia can result from biting or chewing the nails, but it is more common when working conditions require the hands to be frequently wet or exposed to chemicals like detergents. When a bacterial infection causes acute paronychia, a doctor may recommend an antibiotic, When a fungal infection causes chronic paronychia,  then antifungal medication. These medications are topical and oral. Chronic paronychia may require weeks or months of treatment. It is important to keep the hands dry and clean throughout. If a person’s job requires their hands to be wet or exposed to germs, they may need to take time off.
Health Tips
