Actually I have an issue with the nail of a left finger of my hand. The nail seeks to be darken and to detach from the bulk of the finger. It is also deforming a bit. There is no significant pain around the nail. Additionally,the darkening started at one side of the tip of my finger, spreading towards the base, taking a you turn and eventually reached the other side of the tip of that nail. This problem started about a month before.

Paronychia happens when the skin around the nail gets irritated or injured. Germs get into the skin and cause an infection. Often, the skin is injured because of biting, chewing, or picking at the nails. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and medication plan.
