Ingrown Toenail Explained
An ingrown toenail happens when the edge of the nail grows into the skin of the toe, usually the big toe. It can become painful, red and infected.
Typical Symptoms
- Pain when wearing shoes
- Pus or fluid draining
- Redness and swelling
- Pain and tenderness along the edge of the nail
Common Triggers
Cutting nails too short or curved, tight shoes, toe injuries, sweaty feet and the shape of the nail. Long walks in hot weather can make it worse.
Preventing Ingrown Toenail
Cut nails straight across, not too short, and wear shoes that give your toes room.
Treatment Options for Ingrown Toenail in Besiktas
The doctor looks at the toe on camera, advises on soaking and care, prescribes an antibiotic if there is infection and arranges a minor procedure with a clinician if it requires one. Options may include warm soaks, antibiotics if infected and, if it keeps coming back, a minor nail procedure.
- Do not cut into the nail corner yourself
- Dry the foot well afterwards
- Soak the foot in warm water for 15 minutes a few times a day
