Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown toenails are a common and often painful condition that occurs when the edge of a nail grows into the surrounding skin. This problem typically affects the big toe but can occur on any toe. If left untreated, ingrown nails can lead to infection, causing more severe pain and complications.

Common Symptoms

• Pain and tenderness – The affected toe may become painful, especially when pressure is applied.
• Redness and swelling – The skin around the ingrown nail often appears red and swollen.
• Infection – In severe cases, the area may become infected, leading to pus, increased pain and a foul odour.
• Difficulty walking – Pain from an ingrown nail can make it uncomfortable to walk or wear shoes.
