Understanding ingrown toenail
The edge of a toenail, most often the big toe’s, can grow into the skin, causing pain, redness and sometimes infection.
Why ingrown toenail happens
Nails cut too short or rounded, snug shoes, a knock to the toe, sweaty feet and nail shape play a part, and long hot walks aggravate it.
What to know about ingrown toenail in Datca
Datca is a quieter peninsula with winding roads, so long drives, heat and sea swimming are the main worries. Hiking boots that are too tight push the nail into the skin. Wear boots that fit and trim the nail straight.
Travel guide to Datca
Datca is a long, quiet peninsula, and the ancient city of Knidos lies near its tip. Tourist tip: visit Knidos, taste the local almonds and honey and swim in its clear bays. Windsurfing and snorkelling are popular.
Avoiding ingrown toenail on holiday
Cut nails straight across, not too short, and wear shoes that give your toes room.
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 it needs one. Typical choices are warm soaks, antibiotics if infected and, if it keeps coming back, a minor nail procedure.
- Wear open or roomy shoes
- Dry the foot well afterwards
- Do not cut into the nail corner yourself
