Ingrown Toe Nail

• It is a condition in which the corner or sides of toe nail grows into the flesh and cause unexplainable pain in your toe even if you walk or jog.

  

  Symptoms:

  

  • Pus formation
  • Blood clotting around the affected area
  • Swelling of toe
  • Pain

  Suggested treatment:

  • Removal of Nail
  • Self Healing

  Lets see what will happen in both the treatment,

  • Removal of Nail: Most of the doctors recommended treatment is to remove the nail, which will cause severe pain starting from injecting local anesthesia and also it will take a lot of time to heal and grow back your nail. Even after facing all the pain, your nail would be still defective
  • Self Healing: Our body has tendency to heal everything over the time. Try to cut nails before it touches the skin and over the time it will stop growing inside the skin. Also you should be using some ointments like Mupirocin which will help to heal the skin.

  In my own experience, I would suggest everyone to go for self healing process by cutting your nails regularly and using the ointment. Either you have to go through hell like pain everyday or overtime you will see your toe nail completely healed.
