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.
Why Ingrown Toenail Happens
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.
Symptoms of Ingrown Toenail
- Pain and tenderness along the edge of the nail
- Overgrown skin around the nail
- Pus or fluid draining
- Pain when wearing shoes
- Redness and swelling
Yahsi: Local Notes for Ingrown Toenail
In Yahsi the typical health problems come from too much sun, too little water and food that has sat out in the heat. Nearby you will also find Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye. Sandy sandals, wet feet and long beach walks irritate the toe. Dry your feet well, wear roomy shoes and soak the toe.
