Panaritium: Folk Methods and Effective Ways of Treatment

Soap-based Ointment: To create this ointment, you will need half a bar of fresh dark household soap, which should be grated. Also, take two medium-sized onion bulbs, chop them into small pieces, and mix with the soap. Then add a little cream and place the resulting mixture in a pot. The pot should be placed not directly on the flame, but in a frying pan with sand or on a water bath. Cook over low heat until the mixture becomes homogeneous and thick. Store the ointment in the refrigerator; it can be kept indefinitely. Apply the ointment to the inflamed nail and wrap it with a bandage. After two days, the bandage can be removed, and the nail should begin to heal. If the effect is unsatisfactory, the process can be repeated.

Soap and Egg White Mixture: For this recipe, you will need household soap and raw egg white. First, wash the egg thoroughly (you can use water with vinegar for disinfection), separate the white, and whip it. Then grate the soap and mix it with the egg white in a jar or an enameled mug until you get a viscous and plastic mass. The entire procedure will take about 30 minutes. Apply the resulting paste to the inflamed area, lightly touching the healthy skin; the layer can be up to 1 cm thick. If possible, let the mixture dry without a bandage. After that, you can bandage it. Leave it on for a day or two. When you remove the bandage, monitor the condition: pus should come out. If this does not happen, repeat the procedure.

Treatment Using Black Bread: Take a piece of black bread, generously salt it, and chew it thoroughly until it turns into a homogeneous paste. Then place a bandage on parchment, spread the paste on it, and cover with the other end of the bandage. Secure it tightly to the inflamed area and bandage. By morning, the swelling should decrease, and the bandage will show pus and blood, indicating that the wound is cleansing.
