What to do if you have an ingrown toenail<\/span>?<\/h2><\/div>

If your toenail becomes ingrown, the best solution is to seek help from a podiatrist, as the condition will not resolve on its own. While trimming the nail properly can provide temporary relief, it is important to address the underlying cause of the problem. <\/p>\n

By visiting a podiatrist, he or she will be able to analyze the cause of your ingrown toenail and determine the most effective treatment. By doing so, you will be able to prevent future recurrences of the problem. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

What is an ingrown toenail?<\/h2><\/div>

Ingrown toenail surgery<\/strong> or onychocryptosis occurs when the nail grows into the sides of the toe, causing redness, inflammation and pain when walking or doing some activity. It is very annoying, and although it can occur on any toe, it usually occurs on the big toe.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

The way we walk causes our toes to adapt and become poorly positioned, which also affects the pressure exerted on the nail. The causes may be genetic due<\/strong> to the shape of the nail<\/strong> and the toe<\/strong>, due to infection<\/strong> or alteration of the nail (when its morphology is altered), and due to an alteration<\/strong> in the behaviour of the toes, directly related to the patient’s gait<\/strong> and biomechanics, as well as the type of footwear.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How to cure an ingrown toenail<\/span>?<\/h2><\/div>

The solutions and treatments for this condition involve two options: Conservative treatment or<\/strong>surgical treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The podiatrist will assess each patient to choose the most appropriate option, based, among many other factors, on the presence or absence of granulomas (inflamed tissue in which bacteria can proliferate).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Conservative treatment<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Conservative treatment is usually applied to those patients in whom the presence of granuloma is not detected and, therefore, there is no bacterial infection in the area.<\/p>\n

In some cases, depending on the infection, conservative treatment is also performed.<\/p>\n

We remove the ingrown part of the nail without anesthesia and without any pain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/span><\/div>

Surgical treatment<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div>
Unlike conservative treatment, in this case the presence of granulomas is observed, which will require minor surgery. During surgery, both the granuloma and the part of the nail that has become embedded in the skin will be removed, allowing the finger to return to normal. <\/p>\n

There are various surgical techniques available for this procedure, and the choice of the appropriate technique will depend on the evaluation performed by the podiatrist.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
