10 Ways to Treat an Ingrown Nail

www.IngrownToenailTherapy.com

Ingrown nails can be painful, irritating, and flat out unsightly, if you have developed one, there are a few ways you can get rid of it.

Soak. Try doing a foot soak that includes warm salt water. You may do this for about fifteen minutes and repeat a few times a day. This should help with both the swelling and soreness. Once complete make sure to thoroughly dry the feet.

Dry. Again keep the feet as dry as you possibly can, with the exception of the soak periods.
Pain reliever. You can take an ibuprofen or any other over the counter pain reliever to help.
Pulling the skin, gently. Carefully you may attempt to separate the skin from the ingrown nail pushing it away from each other. You can do so using a nail instrument such as a nail file or another small instrument.
Cotton. You may also want to try putting cotton in between the space of the skin and the ingrown to also help separate the two parts.

Antibiotic ointment. To prevent an infection you can also rub antibiotic ointment on the affected area.
Bandaid. Covering up the area with a bandaid or bandage can help offer a cushioned protection.

Proper footwear. Your shoes can be worsening the problem or even the reason for the problem. Make sure to wear shoes that are roomy and are made of soft fabrics. Sandals are a good alternative as well.

Inspection. Checking your nails for infection can help prevent one or help in treating one in its earlier stages. Look out for signs of redness, swelling, pus, and/or pain.

Doctor. Lastly, if your symptoms have not decreased or gone away, you should definitely see a podiatrist.

Reality of Guaranteed Treatments

Toenail fungus, also known as onychomycosis, is one of the countless infections that people could suffer from. Some people who have nail fungus end up having it for years, or even for the rest of their lives. Sometimes this is because they don’t think they can get rid of it. Other times it’s because they just try one toenail fungus treatment and decide to give up after it doesn’t work. While it is true that in some cases toenail fungus is very difficult to treat, it is not impossible.

Most people that have contracted the fungus in the past and have successfully treated their outbreak think they are cured for good. But unfortunately, that is not how the world works. Much like the common cold, you can reinfect yourself. If you revert back to your old ways, or don’t follow up with proper post treatment care, you CAN and most likely WILL catch the fungus again. What’s worse is that because you had already contracted the fungus in the past, you are even more susceptible to the fungus in the future.

Most people think that nail fungus is like the chicken pox, once you get it you can’t get it ever again. And sadly that just isn’t true. You must always practice safe foot care, and always be wary when walking barefoot in public!

What is an Ingrown Toenail and how can I fix it? 

When a nail begins to curve and dig into the skin it is identified as an ingrown toenail. This curved growth typically begins on the side of the nails and you begin to get symptoms such as redness, inflammation, swelling, and pain.

Not only are ingrown nails irritating and painful, but they can also be harmful health wise. When an ingrown nail occurs, it often causes a break in the skin where bacteria can then enter through and cause an infection. This infection will typically cause a drainage and a bad odor to occur.

Suffering from Ingrown Toenails?

An ingrown toenail is caused due to the pressure of the nail edge into the skin of the toe. After the nail breaks through the skin, inflammation starts. The infection can result in severe pain. Ingrown toenails most commonly affect the large toes and can become a reoccurring problem.

What can I do about it?

Several medical treatments have been developed to eliminate chronic ingrown toenails. Some procedures are invasive and require stitches and local anesthetic. Less invasive procedures reduce post-operative pain. Partial nail excision can reduce the risk of recurrence caused by a regrowth of the nail.

Nail surgery is usually very safe, with minimal post-operative pain. The procedure can be conveniently and safely performed in our clinic. In this procedure, the doctor removes the outside edge of the nail, along with the nail root. The doctor then treats the area where the nail root is located with a chemical to prevent nail growth.

The surgery is done under a local anesthetic, with no discomfort during or after the procedure. After the procedure, you will go home with the toe bandaged and post treatment instructions (pain killers, elevation of the foot, rest, etc.). Our podiatrist will see you within a several days post treatment to make sure the toe is healing properly.
