Choose Pain-free Ingrown Toenail Repair Treatment

An ingrown toenail is a painful condition where part of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, it usually affects one or both big toes, but any toe can develop an ingrown toenail. It can range from mild and irritating, to excruciatingly painful and leading to soft tissue infection of the surrounding skin requiring a course of antibiotics.

Many people find that ingrown nails run in families, as the shape of the nail that often predisposes an ingrown nail is inherited, just like hair shape and colour can be. Another common cause for an ingrown nail is nail involusion, this is where the nail is excessively curves causing it to pinch the underlying skin, this can provoked by many years of wearing narrow shoes and heels.

Trauma, such as stubbing the toe can cause the nail to dig into the surrounding skin. Another common reason for the development of ingrown nails is people who attempt to self-treat their nails which often exacerbates the problem due to poor technique.

There are a few things which may cause an ingrown toenail. Natural excess curvature of the nail (involusion), ill/tight fitting footwear, attempt to self treat nails, incorrect nail cutting technique, fungal nail infection, trauma/injury, sweaty feet.

Ingrown toenails are often very painful and can become infected. The toe may be painful on one side of the nail or both, especially when pressure is placed upon it. The affected area where the nail is digging into the skin of the toe may be red, hot and swollen, bleed or secrete pus if there is an infection present.

Redness of the toe, tender when pressed, swelling around the nail, presence of pus, soft tissue infection, unpleasant smell, difficulty wearing shoes, excruciating pain when stubbed.

There are different types of surgical treatments for ingrown toenails. Partial nail removal only involves removing the piece of nail that is digging into your skin. Your doctor numbs your toe and then narrows the toenail.

During a partial nail removal, the sides of the nail are cut away so that the edges are completely straight. A piece of cotton is placed under the remaining portion of the nail to keep the ingrown toenail from recurring. Your doctor may also treat your toe with a compound called phenol, which keeps the nail from growing back.If left untreated, an ingrown toenail infection can cause an infection in the bone in your toe. A toenail infection can also lead to foot ulcers, or open sores, and a loss of blood flow to the infected area.
