InGrown Toenail

There are some toenail problems that some of us might be facing. One of them is known as Ingrown Toenail.

An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the skin of the toe. There may be pain, redness, and swelling around the nail.

Causes

An ingrown toenail can result from curved toenails, poorly fitting shoes, toenails that are trimmed improperly, or a toe injury. The skin around the toenail may become red and infected. The great toe is usually affected, but any toenail can become ingrown.

If anyone encounter ingrown toenail problems and do not take care properly it will become swollen at the side and redness skin.





Here are some of the ways to treat such ingrown problems:

1. Soak the foot in warm water.
2. Use a nail file to separate the nail from the inflamed skin.
3. Place a small piece of cotton under the nail. Wet the cotton with water or antiseptic.

There are also some prevention for ingrown toenails:

1. Wear shoes that fit properly.
2. Trim toenails straight across the top and not too short.
3. Keep the feet clean and dry.
