Understanding ingrown toenail
The edge of a toenail, most commonly the big toe’s, can grow into the skin, causing pain, redness and sometimes infection.
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.
Ingrown toenail in Karaburun: what to know locally
Karaburun is built for beach days, and the strong sun, salty water and shared buffets behind them explain most of the health problems travellers report. Other places within reach include Dikili, Centrum, Cesme. Sandy sandals, wet feet and long beach walks irritate the toe. Dry your feet well, wear roomy shoes and soak the toe.
