The symptom of Ingrown Nails

Overview

Ingrown nails are a common condition in which the side or corner of a toenail grows into the soft flesh. As a result pain, redness, swelling and sometimes, an infection occurs. Ingrown toenails mostly affect your big toe.

Many times, you can take care of ingrown toenails on your own. If the pain is severe or spreading, your doctor can take steps to relieve you from discomfort and help you avoid complications of ingrown toenails.

Symptoms

Ingrown toenail symptoms include:

Pain and tenderness in your toe along one or both sides of the nail

Redness around your toenail

Swelling of your toe around the nail

Infection of the tissue around your toenail

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you:

Experience severe discomfort in your toe or pus or redness that seems to be spreading

Have diabetes or another the condition that causes poor blood flow to your feet and you experience any foot sore or infection

Causes

Common ingrown toenail causes include:

Wearing shoes that crowd your toenails

Cutting your toenails too short or not straight across

Injuring your toenail

Having unusually curved toenails

Complications

Left untreated or undetected, an ingrown toenail can infect the underlying bone and cause a serious bone infection.

In case diabetes or another condition that causes poor blood flow to your feet, you're at high risk of complications of ingrown toenails. So a minor foot injury — a cut, scrape, corn, callus or ingrown toenail — may not heal properly and become infected. A difficult-to-heal open sore (foot ulcer) may require surgery to prevent the decay and death of tissue (gangrene). Gangrene results from an interruption in blood flow to an area of your body.

Prevention

To help prevent an ingrown toenail:

Trim your toenails straight across. Don't curve your nails to match the shape of the front of your toe. If you have your toenails done at a salon, be sure to tell your pedicurist to trim your nails straight across. If you have poor blood flow to your feet and you can't trim your nails, see a podiatrist regularly to have your nails trimmed.

Keep toenails at a moderate length. Trim toenails so they're even with the tips of your toes. If you trim your toenails too short, the pressure from your shoes on your toes may direct a nail to grow into the tissue.

Wear shoes that fit properly. Shoes that place too much pressure on your toes or pinch them may cause a nail to grow into the surrounding tissue. If you have nerve damage to your feet, you may not be able to sense if your shoes fit too tightly. Take care at the time of buying and wearing fitted shoes, preferably from a shoe store specializing in fitting shoes for people with foot problems.

Wear protective footwear. If your work puts you at risk of injuring your toes, wear protective footwear, such as steel-toed shoes.

Check your feet. If you have diabetes, check your feet daily for signs of ingrown toenails or other foot problems.

Ingrown Toenails: The Need To Know

Ingrown toenails typically affect the big toe but can happen to any of your toenails. People with curved or thick nails tend to be the most susceptible to ingrown toenails although anyone who is guilty of wearing poorly fitted shoes, poor foot hygiene, or recent injury can all become affected with an ingrown toenails. If you suffer from diabetes you need to be especially aggressive with ingrown toenails because they can cause serious complications including loss of limb!

There are several ways that an ingrown nail can develop. In many cases it is hereditary, meaning that it runs in your family, so if you know family members with this problem then you have a chance of gaining the same issue. Trimming the nail incorrectly can also result in an ingrown nail. This will happen when you trim the nail too short, which causes the skin to then fold over the nail. Trauma to the toes or nails can also result in an ingrown nail. So stubbing your toe, dropping a heavy object on your toe, or an activity that puts repeated pressure on the toes are all forms of trauma that can cause the nail to change shape and become infected and ingrown. Improperly sized footwear, such as shoes or socks that are too tight or too short can also be a cause of an ingrown nail. Lastly, fungal infections or losing a nail can also cause an ingrown nail.

If you suffer from chronic ingrown toenails then it might be time to start considering nail removal surgery or other medical treatments to prevent the nail from coming back and causing infection!
