Ever had a red, swollen, painful nail? 😬 That might be paronychia, a common nail infection caused by bacteria or yeast sneaking in through tiny breaks in the skin.
🚨 Triggers: Nail-biting, cuticle picking, or even a too-aggressive manicure.
⚠️ Symptoms: Swelling, redness, and sometimes pus (ouch).
💡 Prevention: Hands off the cuticles, keep your nails moisturized, and avoid trauma to the area.
