What is ingrown toenail?
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, normally of the big toe, and can become painful, red and infected.
What can cause ingrown toenail
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.

In Konakli most days revolve around the beach, the pool and the hotel restaurant, which is where holiday illnesses tend to start. Other places within reach include Oba, Tosmur, Mahmutlar. Sandy sandals, wet feet and long beach walks irritate the toe. Dry your feet well, wear roomy shoes and soak the toe.
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 needed. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest warm soaks, antibiotics if infected and, if it keeps coming back, a minor nail procedure.
