One of the common problems many people face is an ingrown toenail. This condition usually occurs on the big toe and may cause pain, redness, and inflammation.
Main causes:
Improper trimming of the nail (cutting it too deeply);
Wearing tight shoes;
Excessive foot sweating and poor hygiene;
Genetic factors (inherited nail shape).
How to prevent it?
Always trim the nails correctly — straight across, not rounded;
Avoid tight and uncomfortable shoes, and wear comfortable ones made of leather or breathable materials;
Keep feet clean and dry, do regular pedicure;
If pain or inflammation worsens, consult a specialist podologist or dermatologist instead of trying home treatments.
Doctors emphasize: cutting and removing the nail on your own can make the condition worse and may cause infection.
