Medical Conditions - Ingrown Toenail

Ingrown toenails present with symptoms like swelling, pain, infection at the site, pus discharge, and redness. Trauma to the toenail or when the sides of the toenails are trimmed too short, or if too tight or short shoes are used, it paves the way for the nail to dig and grow inside the skin. Painkillers, soaking the toe in warm water thrice daily, using perfect fitting shoes or sandals, and keeping the toes dry will help relieve the symptoms.
