Ingrown toenail explained
An ingrown toenail happens when the edge of the nail grows into the skin of the toe, usually the big toe. It can become painful, red and infected.
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 needed. Treatment can involve warm soaks, antibiotics if infected and, if it keeps coming back, a minor nail procedure.
