Paronychia Candidamicotica

Candidamycotic paronychia: causes, symptoms and treatment

Paronychia candidamycoticus, also known as confectioner's disease, is an infectious disease of the skin of the fingers caused by a fungus of the genus Candida. It is a common disease among people whose work involves damp conditions and high humidity, such as pastry chefs, dishwashers, gardeners and other professions.

The cause of candidamycotic paronychia is an infection with the Candida fungus, which penetrates the skin through microcracks and cuts in the skin of the fingers. Conditions that contribute to the development of this disease include skin damage, excess moisture, excessive hand hygiene, insufficient drying of hands after washing, and a compromised immune system.

Symptoms of candidiasis paronychia include inflammation and swelling of the skin, soreness, itching, redness and pustule formation. In some cases, cracks and keratinization of the skin may also appear. If the disease is not treated, it can progress and lead to complications such as extensive infiltrates, abscesses and even sepsis.

To diagnose candidamycotic paronychia, clinical and mycological studies are carried out. Treatment for this disease includes the use of antifungal agents such as ointments, creams or tablets, as well as maintaining hygiene measures and preventing re-infection.

In general, paronychia candidiasis can be prevented by following simple hygiene practices such as washing your hands regularly, wearing protective gloves when handling water and chemicals, and keeping your fingers dry. If you suspect you have developed this condition, contact your doctor for professional advice and treatment.
