Paronychia refers to the inflammation of the tissue, which immediately surrounds the nail and it can be acute (<6 weeks duration) or chronic (>6 weeks duration).

Paronychia is a skin infection that occurs around a fingernail or toenail. It can be acute lasting less than six weeks or can be chronic and persist for more than six weeks. It is most likely to occur following a break in the skin, such as with trauma, nail-biting, and ingrown nails.
Paronychia is most often caused by an injury to a nailfold that causes inflammation. This injury may be due to damage from outside the body, such as nail biting, picking, or manicures. Irritants and allergens, such as nail polishes or treatments (gel and acrylic nails), can also damage the nailfold.
