Is it safe to swim in the ocean with a paronychia?
I'm assuming the answer is no on this one, but I feel it's worth asking. I'm going to a beach in a couple of days and I believe one of my toes is developing a paronychia. It may not manifest completely, as not all of them have actually built up to the surface, but I know it's best to still treat it as one. I started soaking it in water today & washing it with soap when I noticed the skin was turning red, and I've applied Neosporin, but it'll be several days at the least before it goes away.

YES this is inflammation from a severe sore and the salt water just may do it some good only bad part is if hit this toe on a sharp object such as shells you could cut the spot open By all means hit the water and have fun its summer time then when you get back I suggest you see your Health Care Provider for treatment.

There are dead fish floating around in the ocean, not to mention living fish swimming in their own p*** and s***. I think you'll be safe.
