An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. This condition most commonly affects the big toe but can occur on any toenail. An ingrown toenail often results from improper nail trimming, such as cutting the nails too short or rounding the edges, which can encourage the nail to grow into the skin. Other causes include wearing tight or ill-fitting shoes that apply pressure to the toes, or genetic predisposition, where the nail naturally curves downward. Trauma or injury to the toenail, such as stubbing the toe or repetitive stress from certain activities, can also contribute to the development of an ingrown toenail. Treatment for an ingrown toenail usually begins with self-care measures aimed at relieving pain and reducing inflammation. Soaking the affected foot in warm, soapy water can help soften the skin and nail, making it easier to gently lift the edge of the nail away from the skin. Applying an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment and keeping the area clean and dry can prevent infection. In more severe cases, where the ingrown toenail is persistent or complicated by infection, medical intervention may be necessary. A healthcare professional might trim or remove part of the toenail, or perform a minor surgical procedure to address the underlying issue. Wearing properly fitting shoes and practicing good foot hygiene can help prevent recurrence. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical advice for appropriate treatment and management.
