Nail Infection

Nail infections range from fungal (onychomycosis) and bacterial (paronychia) to viral (warts) forms. Symptoms include redness, pain, swelling, pus, discoloration, and thickening. Cutis Hospital provides rapid diagnosis, culture and targeted management for infection resolution and nail restoration.

Overview

Onychomycosis—chronic fungal infection—causes yellow, thickened nails. Paronychia—bacterial infection—presents acutely with pain, swelling and pus at the nail fold. Viral warts cause rough outgrowths. Management includes topical and oral antimicrobials, minor surgery and hygiene advice.
