About Ingrown Toenail
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, usually of the big toe, and can become painful, red and infected.
Common Triggers
Cutting nails too short or curved, tight shoes, injury to the toe, sweaty feet and the shape of the nail. Long walking in hot weather can make it worse.
Ingrown Toenail in Cappadocia: What to Know Locally
Cappadocia’s dawn balloon flights and rocky valleys bring cold early starts, dust and uneven paths. Hiking boots that are too tight push the nail into the skin. Wear boots that fit and trim the nail straight.
Travel Guide to Cappadocia
The name Cappadocia comes from the ancient Persian Katpatuka. Tourist tip: take an early-morning hot-air balloon flight, hike the rock valleys, tour an underground city and shop for pottery and carpets.
Care and Treatment for Ingrown Toenail
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 needs one. Options may include warm soaks, antibiotics if infected and, if it keeps coming back, a minor nail procedure.
- Wear open or roomy shoes
