E-rx.onlineIngrown Toenail in Ortakent: What to Know Locally
Ortakent is a beach and hotel area, so sun, pools and buffet food are the usual causes of holiday illness. Other places within reach include Bitez, Torba, Konacik. Sandy sandals, wet feet and long beach walks irritate the toe. Dry your feet well, wear roomy shoes and soak the toe.
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 Explained
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, generally of the big toe, and can become painful, red and infected.
Signs of Ingrown Toenail to Look for
- Pain when wearing shoes
- Pain and tenderness along the edge of the nail
- Pus or fluid draining
- Overgrown skin around the nail
How Ingrown Toenail Is Treated
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 needed. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest 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
