Prognosis
Acute forms of inflammation of the nail bed can usually be treated much better than chronic nail bed inflammation. The latter should be examined by a physician at regular intervals. In order to get the inflammatory processes under control, a trained chiropodist must usually be included in the treatment.
Prevention (Prevention)
The development of an inflammation at the nail bed can often be prevented by simple measures. In this context it is important never to completely push back or cut away the cuticle.Otherwise, bacterial pathogens or fungi can penetrate the tissue much more easily, settle and trigger inflammatory processes. In addition, protective measures should always be taken when in contact with chemical cleaning agents. In most cases it is sufficient to wear protective gloves to prevent inflammation of the nail bed.
