Paronychia Hydrogen Peroxide Soak
Method of soaking in hydrogen peroxide for paronychia
Paronychia refers to the inflammation of the tissues around the (toenail) nail. It is often caused by minor punctures, contusions, reverse peeling or deep nail clipping, which causes redness, swelling, pain, and even purulent in the paronychia, which affects daily activities.
Today, there is a method of soaking in hydrogen peroxide to treat paronychia. Hydrogen peroxide, which is highly oxidizing, can kill a variety of bacteria, fungi and viruses. Soaking the affected part can clean the wound, remove purulent secretions and necrotic tissue, and create a good healing environment for the wound.
The method is as follows: Prepare an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide first, and the concentration should be 3% common for medical use. Slowly immerse the affected finger (toe) in the hydrogen peroxide, so that the affected part is fully immersed in it. The soaking time is about 15 to 20 minutes, and it can be done 2 to 3 times a day. During the soaking period, the patient may feel a little tingling, which is a normal reaction of hydrogen peroxide acting on the wound, and there is no need to be overly alarmed.
However, there are also precautions when soaking with hydrogen peroxide. First, wash the affected part with warm water before soaking to remove surface dirt and ensure that the hydrogen peroxide can fully contact the lesion. Second, if the wound has been broken, it should be rinsed with normal saline after soaking to reduce the irritation of the residual hydrogen peroxide to the wound. Third, if the symptoms do not relieve or even worsen after several days of soaking, seek medical attention as soon as possible to prevent delaying the disease.
In this way, the treatment of paronychia with hydrogen peroxide immersion is easy to operate and can be effective in mild paronychia, but severe cases still require professional medical treatment.
