The redness around the nails is considered to be onychia, often accompanied by pain, and pus will flow out in severe cases. When the redness around the nails is shown, if pus is not formed, it is recommended to disinfect with iodophor first, and then apply local application with mupirocin cream, and then wrap with sterile gauze. Change dressing every day until the redness subsides. If the nail is red and swollen and pus has formed, it is necessary to make an incision and drain it. After the pus is drained, debridement is carried out.
