What is green nail syndrome?

← Journal

Green nail syndrome is a bacterial infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

It is a Gram-negative bacterium that thrives in a damp environment.

Let’s not underestimate it!

What are the risk factors for infection? — Reduced immunity. — Leaving gel polish or gel enhancements on too long; onycholysis, which is the separation of the nail plate from the nail bed following a mechanical injury. If you notice similar changes in your nails after removing gel polish, or at any other time, see a podology practitioner promptly.

Please bring a spare pair of socks to change into and your shoes for ozone treatment.

— Choose treatment with your doctor. A green nail is not a reason to take “immune support” preparations on your own.
