First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new injection combining a steroid and antifungal drug against a standard topical cream for chronic paronychia, a long-lasting nail fold infection. Twenty-one adults with at least two affected fingernails on their dominant hand will receive both treatments on different fingers to see which works better. The goal is to find a more effective way to control this condition.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more effective treatment option for chronic paronychia, potentially reducing the need for long-term topical creams.
