For polyps caused by paronychia that repeatedly flare up and are quite obvious, surgical methods are necessary for complete correction.

Surgical options include nail groove plasty and lateral nail fold incision, both of which are effective treatments for severe paronychia.

If the polyp from paronychia is not severe, it can be treated with topical medications to shrink the polyp and reduce swelling. Commonly used medications include skin and mucous membrane disinfectants such as povidone-iodine, and continuous damp dressing with medical alcohol can be applied to further reduce swelling, which is beneficial for muscle atrophy. Highly concentrated saline solution or phenol can also be used for local scalding through continuous damp dressing.

The growth of a polyp in paronychia indicates repeated inflammatory irritation, which leads to local proliferation, so it is essential to address paronychia promptly when it occurs.
