Ingrown Toenail Explained
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, generally of the big toe, and can become painful, red and infected.
Why Ingrown Toenail Happens
Cutting nails too short or curved, tight shoes, toe injuries, sweaty feet and the shape of the nail. Long walks in hot weather can make it worse.
Treatment Options for Ingrown Toenail in Oludeniz
The physician 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 needed. Treatment can involve warm soaks, antibiotics if infected and, if it keeps coming back, a minor nail procedure.
