How Can Paronychia be Prevented in Cancer Patients?
Preventive measures can help reduce the risk of developing paronychia in cancer patients. These include maintaining good hand and nail hygiene, avoiding trauma to the nails, and keeping the hands clean and dry. Patients should also be cautious when cutting nails to avoid injury and should use protective gloves when engaging in activities that may expose them to water or irritants. Regular check-ups with healthcare providers can also help in early detection and management of any signs of infection.
