    Glossary Paronychia

    infection around nails causing redness, swelling, and pain

    Paronychia is an infection of the skin around the nails, typically caused by bacteria or fungi. It leads to redness, swelling, and pain around the nail, and in some cases, pus may form. This condition can be acute, developing rapidly, or chronic, persisting for weeks or longer, often due to repeated exposure to moisture or irritants.
