What is ingrown toenail?
An ingrown toenail happens when the edge of the nail grows into the skin of the toe, typically the big toe. It can become painful, red and infected.
Causes and risk factors
Cutting nails too short or curved, tight shoes, injury to the toe, sweaty feet and the shape of the nail. Long walking in hot weather can make it worse.
Typical symptoms
- Redness and swelling
- Overgrown skin around the nail
- Pain when wearing shoes
- Pus or fluid draining
Selimiye: local notes for ingrown toenail
Selimiye suits walkers and explorers, but sun, ticks, insects and uneven paths mean minor injuries and bites are common. Close by are Bozburun, Kumlubuku, Adakoy, which share the same medical services. Hiking boots that are too tight push the nail into the skin. Wear boots that fit and trim the nail straight.
How to lower your risk of ingrown toenail
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. Treatment can involve warm soaks, antibiotics if infected and, if it keeps coming back, a minor nail procedure.
- Soak the foot in warm water for 15 minutes a few times a day
- Do not cut into the nail corner yourself
- Dry the foot well afterwards
- Wear open or roomy shoes
