Ingrown Toenail

An ingrown toenail can affect anyone, but it is more likely to affect those with thick curved toenails. It is when a toenail grows into the skin, as opposed to on top of the skin.

Ingrown nails are most frequently caused by cutting your toenails too short or rounding the nail edges, or by wearing illfitting shoes or tight hosiery that press the nail into your toe.

If a nail is ingrown, soften the area with water or lotion; lift the nail away from the skin and trim the ingrown portion. To avoid ingrown nails, always trim nails straight across.

If the condition causing the ingrown toenail continues, overgrowth of the tissue over the nail can lead to permanent changes in the tissue that can cause infection, more pain, and more swelling. Talk to your pharmacist for more details about ingrowning toenails.
