Article Synopsis
- Acute hand infections can be superficial or deep, with superficial infections occurring in the skin and deeper infections affecting tendons, joints, and bones.
- Superficial infections like paronychia and felons are usually treated with warm soaks, splinting, and antibiotics, while deep infections like pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis require more aggressive treatment including surgery.
- Conditions from herpes simplex virus, like herpetic whitlow, typically resolve on their own, but deep infections necessitate quick medical attention to avoid complications.
