Turgutreis: Local Notes for Ingrown Toenail
Visitors to Turgutreis spend long hours in sun and water and eat out a lot, so sunburn, ear problems and stomach upsets are what doctors see most.

Dry your feet well, wear roomy shoes and soak the toe.

The edge of a toenail, most often the big toe’s, can grow into the skin, causing pain, redness and sometimes infection.
How Ingrown Toenail Is Treated
The physician 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. Typical choices are warm soaks, antibiotics if infected and, if it keeps coming back, a minor nail procedure.
