This is an toenail. If not treated in time, it will cause paronychia, subphylum empyema, osteomyelitis and other adverse consequences. Incarceration is most common in the big toe, usually caused by paronychia or onychomycosis. The lateral edge of the diseased nail not only grows forward, but also embeds into the skin, and every step of the patient will produce terrible pain. Patients often cut off or cut off the side of their nails themselves, but soon they are reborn as before.

If you want to eradicate ingrown toenails, you must first eradicate paronychia and onychomycosis. Apply iodine once a day to eliminate all local bacteria and fungi, remove granuloma caused by candida, and wait patiently for good nails to grow gradually. Newborn nails are uneven, so don't rush to repair them. After a few months, it will become smooth and the ingrown nails will heal themselves.

Patients often get into the habit of manicure because their nails grow inward for a long time, which leads to a vicious circle of nails being pulled out and buried. A better way is to let the toenails grow naturally beyond the edge of the nails and cut the ends flat only once a month. Although the side has the pain of temporary ingrown nails, don't cut off the side in the nail groove. Apply iodine regularly to prevent paronychia or onychomycosis from recurring, and the toenails will eventually heal themselves after half a year.

As for those impatient patients, you can ask the surgeon to cut or pull out the nails locally, which is painless, but it is not necessary.

Here's to health!
