Chronic paronychia is a common occupational disease. It is multifactorial and affects a number of different groups of workers. However, the condition is not described as affecting hairdressers although hairdressing is associated with a range of other occupation-related hand conditions. We report an unusual case of chronic paronychia in a female hairdresser which occurred as a consequence of a hair shaft penetrating beneath the nail fold. Personal hygiene with thorough removal of any hairs that have penetrated the epidermis and wearing clean gloves can prevent the condition. We suggest that clinicians should be aware of the types of occupation and mechanisms involved in patients developing chronic paronychia.
慢性甲沟炎是一种常见的职业病。它是多因素的，影响许多不同群体的工人。然而，这种情况并没有被描述为影响理发师，尽管理发与一系列其他与职业相关的手部疾病有关。我们报告了一例女性理发师的慢性甲沟炎的不寻常病例，这是由于毛发穿透甲褶引起的。个人卫生，彻底清除任何穿透表皮的毛发，并戴上干净的手套，可以预防这种情况。我们建议临床医生应该意识到导致慢性甲沟炎的职业类型和发病机制。
