Can fingers also be infected with HPV? Many girls love to do this, but be careful →

Ms. Wu, 22, is a nail art enthusiast who goes to a nail salon every two or three days to change her nails. Recently, she found a small transparent lump growing between her fingers. It was not painful or itchy, but it was getting bigger and bigger, so she went to the dermatology department of Wuhan No. 1 Hospital for treatment.

After careful examination by a dermatologist at a hospital in Wuhan, it was diagnosed that the growths between Ms. Wu's fingers were periungual warts caused by HPV virus infection and required liquid nitrogen cryotherapy.

Doctors say that periungual warts are a type of common warts on the hands and feet, caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. They form rough papules and nodules around the nails, between the toes, and even under the nails, and are contagious. Although manicures are beautiful, they usually require filing, polishing, and trimming the cuticles. The cuticles protect the nails from connecting to the skin and have a protective effect on the nails.

The dermabrasion operation during the manicure process can easily cause tiny damage to the skin, allowing the HPV virus to "take advantage of the opportunity" to enter the epithelial cells and replicate and proliferate, leading to abnormal differentiation and proliferation of epithelial cells, which may eventually cause damage to the nails.

Doctors remind that the quality of nail salons on the market varies greatly. Many nail salons cannot achieve "one person, one tool change" and lack strict disinfection. Therefore, when choosing a nail salon, you should pay special attention to whether the nail products are regular products and choose a nail salon with good hygiene conditions. This is to avoid damaging the skin tissue around the nails due to hygiene problems or improper operation, causing diseases such as paronychia, onychomycosis, and nail abscess.

For people who already have skin diseases or are susceptible to eczema, dermatitis and other diseases, it is recommended that you avoid manicures and nail polish. If you experience adverse reactions such as redness, swelling, yellowing, and blistering after manicures, you should see a dermatologist as soon as possible.
