In this episode:
Nail infections are common, and it’s worthwhile to understand the potential infectious causes and triggers, such as over-washing or underlying nail tumour


Nail infections can lead to paronychia or vice versa, causing nail deformities where infections can arise


Treating nail infections is simple, provided the diagnosis is correct. Simple infections can be treated with topical treatment, however fungal infections may require antibiotics or anti-fungal agents
