Inflammation around the nail, or paronychia, is a common problem in which the skin beside the nail becomes red, swollen, and painful. It is caused by bacterial or fungal infection, nail-biting habits, or working excessively in water. Antibiotic or antifungal ointments alone bring temporary relief, but the problem recurs. In homeopathy, treatment is given with consideration of the overall constitution.
