Twice I have had the severe, extremely painful infection of the skin near the nail, called paronychia. I could find no natural remedies online and saw that it can be a dangerous if it spreads to the bloodstream or bones, so I was a bit scared. Especially as these infections can last for months. Then, under the suggestion of my 80 year old aunt, I soaked the area in iodine and covered it with an iodine soaked bandaid as well. It was totally gone within a couple of days both times!! I was so happy and impressed with this remedy. It also caused a very thick layer of stained skin to harden and come right off where the infection was which fine with me, just happy the infection is gone!
