What is Nail Pain with Swelling?
Nail pain with swelling refers to discomfort, redness, and tenderness around or under the nail, often accompanied by inflammation. This condition can affect a single nail or multiple nails and may indicate infection, injury, or underlying nail disorders.
Causes of Nail Pain with Swelling
Ingrown Nails: Nail edges grow into the surrounding skin, causing inflammation and infection.
Trauma or Injury: Accidental nail trauma can lead to swelling, bruising, or hematoma.
Fungal Infections (Onychomycosis): Can cause thickened, painful, and discolored nails.
Bacterial Infections (Paronychia): Redness, pus, and tenderness around the nail folds.
Nail Disorders: Conditions like psoriasis or eczema may cause inflammation.
Poor Nail Hygiene: Accumulation of dirt and bacteria leads to swelling and pain.
Chemical Exposure: Harsh detergents or nail products can irritate nails and surrounding skin.
