Ingrown Toenail Treatment
Ingrown toenails occur when the toenail starts to grow into the sidewall of the toe, which can cause significant pain and discomfort. Ingrown toenails are often caused or exacerbated by wearing ill-fitting shoes as well as improper trimming of the nails. Ingrown toenails are also prone to infection, as the nail often breaks the skin and allows bacteria to infiltrate, which can make the area even more painful and swollen.
While there are things that you can do at home to relieve the pain and pressure or to simply prevent ingrown toenails in the first place, most sufferers find that they need professional help eventually, to try and tackle the problem.
