- Abstract
Aim: Onychocryptosis is a podiatric disease that can anticipate degenerative lesions or ulcers. Early podiatrist intervention reduces chronic lesions occurrence and over-infections. This study aims to decrease the consequential inflammation due to invasiveness of the treatment for onychocryptosis through the application of a semi-occlusive bandage soaked with Ozoile Hydrogel (O.I.) and Ozoile Barrier Cream (O.C.B.). Method: We involved six podiatry cabinets and enrolled 71 patients (23 F, 48 M), the study was conducted for 4 weeks with 3 follow-up encounters. (T0-T3). Criticality index evaluation on Al Kline scale, inclusion criteria from stage 2 to stage 5, exclusion stage 1 Results: 42% of subjects had a significant improvement in 15 days, even among those already known to have systemic diseases. 10% of subjects did not recover at T3 and therapy was replaced; among the subjects, 71.8% were young, it has been hypothesized that the use of sneakers associated with forefoot muscle and tendon laxity and lack of physical activity may have favored the onset of granulomas located on the inner edge of the nail. Conclusion: In conclusion, the use of ozoile as an anti-inflammatory reduce the inflammation degree and improve patient compliance to onychocryptosis treatment. No adverse events to the product in single administration have been reported. None the less, the podiatrist acquires a role on health and social education demonstrating once again its validity as a figure in primary prevention.
