Why should we NOT cover “greenies”?

‘Greenies’ is a colloquial term for ‘green nail syndrome’ or chloronychia. It is a bacterial infection of vi khuẩn giả.

It has been believed for a long time that exposing pseudomonas to the air (oxygen) will destroy it so it is safe to reapply a new coating.

In recent years research has discovered that this type of bacteria can survive with or without oxygen so this is not the case. A ‘greenie’ is an infected nail and should not be worked on. The coating must be removed very carefully and safely to ensure there can be no spread of the infection to other clients. It must then be correctly diagnosed by a medical practitioner, treated by them if necessary, and left until the infection has gone.

There is not always a secondary infection. But a bacteria infection can easily be mistaken for fungal infection and vice versa.

Khía cạnh quan trọng nhất là tránh nhiễm trùng ngay từ đầu bằng một quy trình vệ sinh chặt chẽ. Thêm vào đó, loại nhiễm trùng này có thể (nhưng không phải lúc nào cũng vậy) xảy ra ở những nơi đã có nâng sản phẩm loại bỏ lớp phủ. Việc chuẩn bị móng đúng cách và chính xác là điều cần thiết để tránh tình trạng này.

This is one of the reasons that a coloured and opaque coating should be removed regularly to make sure it isn’t hiding any problems with the nail plate or nail bed.
