What to know about ingrown toenail in Manavgat
Manavgat is known for its waterfall and river boat trips, so boat days, sun and sea water mix together. Sandy sandals, wet feet and long beach walks irritate the toe. Dry your feet well, wear roomy shoes and soak the toe.
Causes and risk factors
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 is ingrown toenail?
The edge of a toenail, most frequently the big toe’s, can grow into the skin, causing pain, redness and sometimes infection.

How ingrown toenail is treated
Through video the doctor examines the toe, explains soaking and care, prescribes antibiotics for infection and arranges a small procedure with a clinician if required. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest warm soaks, antibiotics if infected and, if it keeps coming back, a minor nail procedure.
- Dry the foot well afterwards
- Soak the foot in warm water for 15 minutes a few times a day
