INGROWN TOENAIL: What you need to
know
An
ingrown toenail is curved and grows in the skin nail fold causing irritation.
Patient’s usually described it as “digging in” of the nail into skin, often
causing pain, redness and swelling if present for a long time. Ingrown toenail
occurs in all aged groups, but more likely in teenagers.
If the
toenail causes a break in the skin, bacteria may enter and cause an infection.
Infection signs to look out for include: redness, swelling, warmth, bad odor
and drainage. Ingrown toenail can also be present in the absence of infection
when the curved nail elicits pain.
There
are many causes of ingrown toenails: heredity, wrong shoe size, fungal or thick
toenail or incorrect trimming. Therefore, some ideas to prevent ingrown
toenails include proper trimming of the nail in a straight line while not
cutting it too short. Also, you should wear well-fitted shoes and socks that
prevent pressure on the toes while active.
However,
if you do have an ingrown toenail, treatments can be done at home if the nail
is in an infection free condition. When managing ingrown toenail at home while it is not infection, soak your foot in room-temperature water with addition of
Epsom’s salt if you so choose for approximately 10 minutes. Also, avoid
repeated trimming of the nail as it can cause further worsening of the
symptoms.
If
symptoms prevail with no improvement after home remedies or if infection is present
in diabetics or patient that have compromised blood flow circulation to feet
and legs, you should contact a foot and ankle specialist immediately at
Community Foot Specialists. For more information on further treatment options
