Panaritium is an inflammatory process that can take place both deep inside the tissues and closer to the surface of the fingers and toes. If measures are not taken in time to remove or treat the panaritium, then the abscess will increase in size and a serious infection will develop.
Painful sensations, the development of the inflammatory process and the further accumulation of pus under the skin or nails on the phalanges of the fingers and toes are called panaritium.
Usually, an abscess forms in the immediate vicinity of the nail plate and gives the patient a lot of inconvenience.
IMPORTANT: Feature periungual panaritium is its ability to rapidly spread deep into tissues in the absence of proper treatment.

Types of panaritium
Depending on the location of the inflammation, there are several types of panaritium:
- Cutaneous- the skin is affected, the pain is insignificant, tolerable, but progressive, growing. Characterized by reddening of the skin and the formation of a vesicle filled with pus
- Subcutaneous- inflammation of the subcutaneous fat layer. Manifested by a feeling of excessive "tightness" of the skin, pulsation, swelling, deterioration general condition and, in some cases, an increase in temperature. Symptoms appear 5-7 days after injury
- Tendinous- occurs as a result of a complication of skin or subcutaneous panaritium, or a deep wound. A few hours after the injury, patients note throbbing pain, the appearance and intensification of swelling. The finger turns red and independently occupies a half-bent position, when unbending, severe pain is felt. If necessary health care not provided, the condition worsens, the temperature rises, headaches appear
- articular- purulent damage to the joint due to penetration deep into the tissues of infection from the outside (with deep penetrating injuries) or in case of a complication arising from skin, subcutaneous or tendon panaritium. Characterized severe pain, swelling, redness of the entire finger. Involuntary unnatural movements of the finger may be noted. If the inflammation has touched the ligaments, a crunch will be heard when the injured finger is bent and unbent. Over time, pain will increase, nausea, vomiting, darkening of the eyes, fever may be added.
- Bone- rarely develops initially. Basically, it is a complicated form of another, lighter, type of panaritium. Symptoms in the form pain and swelling of the finger appear on the 3rd - 10th day after infection. Over time, the periungual part of the finger "swells", a so-called fistula appears. There are signs of intoxication: headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness, palpitations, darkening of the eyes, loss of consciousness
If we talk about panaritium, which hit the nail plate, then it can be of two types:
- subungual- happens when a splinter gets under the nail or due to nail biting. Pus is located directly under the nail plate and shines through it. The pain is throbbing, the finger turns red. After a few days, the pus breaks out. Wherein nail plate may flake off
- periungual (paronychia)- may develop due to poor-quality deburring, splinters or other mechanical damage to the periungual roller. If the paronychia is deep, the nail plate and the periungual roller are affected, but if the periungual panaritium proceeds in a mild form, the nail remains intact - suppuration forms only on the skin. In the first case, infection of the deep layers and the development of complications are possible. Periungual panaritium is characterized by: pain, redness, the formation of visually distinguishable subcutaneous blisters with pus

panaritium reasons
The development of the panaritium of the nail occurs in the case of the coincidence of the actions of several factors. From one cut or splinter, a serious injury will not happen.
So, first of all, at least damage to the skin should occur:
- a cut
- prick (puncture)
- scratch
Most often, such wounds cause:
- wood (splinters)
- metal shavings
- manicure tools
- bone fragments when cutting meat or fish
- sewing accessories (needles, pins, etc.)
A splinter is one of the reasons for the development of panaritium
During damage to the integrity of the skin, it penetrates into the wound staphylococcus aureus (streptococcus, E. coli or other microorganisms).
Usually, such microtraumas are not paid attention to and are not processed. Without proper treatment, the infection remains and begins to develop rapidly, infecting nearby tissues.
Favorable factors for the development of panaritium are:
- hand contamination
- frequent moisturizing of the skin (when washing dishes, floors, laundry)
- interaction with chemically active substances (powders, detergents and cleaners)
IMPORTANT: Weakened immunity also contributes to the formation of panaritium.

The main reasons for the appearance of abscesses near the nails in infants are:
- injury with scissors while cutting nails
- burr formation
- trying to cut out an ingrown toenail
- ingrowth
If you notice redness of a finger or a toe in a baby, the most correct thing would be to contact a pediatric surgeon. The specialist will examine the damage and, depending on the situation, determine the optimal treatment.
IMPORTANT: IN children's body all processes are very fast. Therefore, at the very short term even the smallest untreated scratch can cause a huge abscess to appear on the finger.
If the case is advanced, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics. In the initial stages, it is possible to treat panaritium with ointments, salt baths, herbal infusions and treatment with antiseptics.
IMPORTANT: Do not open the abscess yourself. This can only complicate the situation.

Causes of an abscess on the finger near the nail on the hand
Staphylococcal infection, the carrier of which, according to statistics, is one in three, penetrates into the wound and quickly forms an abscess. It is staphylococcus that is most often the "culprit" of the formation of abscesses on the fingers near the nail.
However, the risk of developing panaritium also increases in carriers of the herpes virus and fungal diseases.
In the first case, the so-called herpetic felons, outwardly easily distinguishable from ordinary purulent formations. The peculiarity of herpetic panaritium is that it can "doze off" for several months. That is, from the moment of infection to the appearance of purulent formations on the finger, a lot of time will pass.
IMPORTANT: In no case should you open herpetic abscesses. This infection is very contagious and after breaking out, it can quickly spread to neighboring areas of the skin.

Panaritium toe treatment
Panaritium can affect the toes in cases of mechanical damage to the skin (puncture), burns, trauma, when wearing tight, uncomfortable shoes.
IMPORTANT: The course of the inflammatory process on the fingers and toes is the same, however, if the abscess on the finger causes inconvenience only when moving the injured limb, then the abscess on the toe makes it impossible or very painful to put on shoes and move.
If the panaritium of the finger is in a neglected state and the infection has penetrated deeply, hitting the surrounding tissues, only prompt surgical intervention will help.
When the panaritium of the finger has just declared itself discomfort, redness and swelling, you can try to correct the situation yourself:
- Identify the factor that provoked inflammation and exclude its further action
- Carefully treat the sore finger with alcohol or other disinfectant
- Then soak your finger in a strong hot saline solution for 15-20 minutes (repeat 3-4 times a day)
- At night, make a bandage with ichthyol ointment
- Continue 3 - 4 days
- If the treatment does not help, and the panaritium continues to "gain strength", do not delay visiting a doctor
Panaritium treatment at home on the arm and leg with folk remedies
Some simple recipes, according to adherents folk treatment, are able to get rid of panaritium at home without the use of medicines and contacting doctors.
Recipe number 1. Boil 2 tbsp. water, pour 2 tbsp. sea salt. In the absence of sea salt, the use of table salt is acceptable. Achieve complete dissolution of salt in water. While the saline solution is still hot, dip your injured finger into it and hold for 15-20 minutes. Do not dry or rinse your finger. Repeat 3-4 times a day. Can be added to this saline solution 1 tbsp soda. If the remedy works, after a while the finger will begin to “twitch”. It also helps to heal various abscesses, skin inflammation and rashes of sea water.
Recipe number 2. When a formed abscess appears, use ordinary laundry soap. Wet your finger and lather the affected area strongly. Without rinsing, bandage. After an hour, you will feel how the finger at the site of the abscess begins to pull and pull. Then the abscess will burst.
Recipe number 3. An aloe leaf, cut in half lengthwise, bandage overnight to a sore spot. The next morning the leaf will be completely dry - do not be surprised by this. Repeat the procedure every time you go to bed until the cure is completely healed.
Recipe number 4. Bake half a medium-sized onion in a dry frying pan. Until the bow has cooled down, bandage it to the affected area so that the cut touches the inflamed area or fistula. During the night, the onion will draw out the pus. Repeat the process until you are well.
Recipe number 5. Potassium permanganate baths will help relieve inflammation. Dissolve a few crystals of potassium permanganate in warm water until you get Pink colour. Keep the sore finger in the solution for 7 to 10 minutes. You can add 1 - 2 drops of alcohol tincture of calendula to such baths.
IMPORTANT: If the chosen treatment option does not bring relief, do not continue to experiment, but consult a doctor as soon as possible. The disease progresses so quickly that even one lost day can play a role and lead to serious complications. As soon as the inflammation hits the bone, there will be no chance to save the finger - it will have to be amputated.
Antibiotics for panaritium of the finger
“We need antibiotics” is a decision sometimes made by doctors after assessing the condition of the injured finger. There is no need to argue. Antibacterial therapy in such cases is the only salvation from the development of complications and getting rid of the inflammatory process.
IMPORTANT: If a doctor prescribes antibiotics for the treatment of panaritium, then the inflammation has already affected the tendons or joints, or there is a high probability of their damage. In this case, in addition to treatment with antibiotics, surgical intervention is often necessary.
Often prescribed for the treatment of felons amoxiclav, ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin. If the pathogen was resistant to this group, the appointment is changed.
IMPORTANT: The antibiotic can be prescribed for oral administration, in the form of injections (intramuscularly) and locally.

Complications of panaritium
You can talk as much as you like about the importance of a timely start drug treatment panaritium under the supervision of a specialist, however, there will still be those who consider the disease unworthy of attention and, in best case, just treat your finger with an antiseptic from a home first aid kit.
Therefore, we note the four most terrible (but likely) scenarios for the development of events with undertreated panaritium:
- tendon injury, which will forever deprive you of the ability to move your finger
- blood poisoning (sepsis) which is likely to be fatal
- bone lesion resulting in finger amputation
One of possible complications panaritium - blood poisoning
Surgical intervention, the features of which depend on the type of panaritium, is often used to eliminate suppuration.
The operation usually goes like this:
- anesthetize the finger by injecting lidocaine 2%
- using incisions, panaritium is opened
- if necessary, remove the affected nail or part of it
- clean out suppuration
- wash the wound with antibiotic solution
- treated with an antiseptic
- put drainage
- apply a sterile dry gauze bandage
- subsequently, the wound is treated and dressed daily
IMPORTANT: Often, during the surgical removal of a panaritium, a nerve is affected. If the operation is painless, under an anesthetic, then dressings without anesthesia can cause significant discomfort to the patient.
Treatment of panaritium is a complex and painful procedure. It is much easier to prevent its development.
To do this, it is enough to treat all, even the most minor, cuts, scratches and other skin damage, and at the first sign of inflammation, immediately consult a doctor.
