Paronychia has pus. Is it almost done?

If the infection is not treated properly, the disease will deteriorate further, rather than tend to improve. If there is pus, it means that the

infection has spread to a certain extent, which may cause redness and pain in the surrounding tissues. If there is no active intervention, the infection may spread, causing a more extensive inflammatory reaction, and even leading to systemic infection symptoms. The

accumulation of pus may also cause further damage to the nail groove and surrounding tissues. The long-term presence of pus will erode normal tissues, affecting the structure and function of the nail groove, increasing the difficulty of follow-up treatment and recovery time.

For the case of pyonychia, it should be treated promptly, such as debridement and drainage. It is not advisable to wait for its own improvement. Delay in treatment may lead to a series of complications, such as osteomyelitis and other serious consequences.
