E-rx.onlineLocal Tips for Ingrown Toenail in Bodrum
Bodrum combines the castle, marina and nightlife, so long sunny days often finish with a late night and dehydration. Tight party shoes and a night of dancing can set off pain. Switch to roomy shoes and soak the toe.
Ingrown Toenail Explained
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, typically of the big toe, and can become painful, red and infected.
Symptoms of Ingrown Toenail
- Pain when wearing shoes
- Redness and swelling
- Pain and tenderness along the edge of the nail
Why Ingrown Toenail Happens
Cutting nails too short or curved, tight shoes, injury to the toe, sweaty feet and the shape of the nail. Long walking in hot weather can make it worse.
How Ingrown Toenail Is Treated
The doctor looks at the toe on camera, advises on soaking and care, prescribes an antibiotic if there is infection and arranges a minor procedure with a clinician if it needs one. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest warm soaks, antibiotics if infected and, if it keeps coming back, a minor nail procedure.
- Dry the foot well afterwards
- Wear open or roomy shoes
- Soak the foot in warm water for 15 minutes a few times a day
- Do not cut into the nail corner yourself
