Jacksonville, 3rd Aug 2017 - Ingrown toenail is a foot condition that generally takes place at the edge of the toenails when it grows & curves into the flesh part of the big toe. This is often because of excessive volume of pressure exerted on the toenail that makes it protrude the skin & break its tissue. The protrusion can then create a gap for bacteria and this upshot to an infection. The symptoms of the condition usually include redness & swelling, as well as the secretion of a yellowish drainage.

An ingrown toenail can be pretty painful & cause significant complications, especially if you have diabetes foot conditions that are a result of poor circulation and blood flow. An ingrown nail causes the corner of the nail to actually grow into the skin, which causes pain and sometimes infection. Commonly affecting the big toe, severe cases of ingrown nails can cause a lot of pain and even problems with mobility.

“In case the condition becomes painful and infection occurs, it would be best to seek the help of a podiatrist for treatment. If you have poor blood circulation or diabetes, make sure that you avoid self-medicating and treating the condition on your own. For mild toenail infections, antibiotics can be beneficial against the pain and infection. However, take note that this can only provide a temporary relief against the condition and a specialist should still check on the problem” said a spokesperson of NOURISH Foot Care & Spa.
