Ingrown Toenail: Prevention, Home Remedy & Treatment | Dr. Girish Gupta

Описание: "An ingrown toenail occurs when the edges or corners of the toenail grow into the skin next to it, causing pain, swelling, and sometimes infection. This condition is commonly caused by wearing tight shoes that crowd the toenails, cutting nails too short, or not cutting them straight across. People with curved toenails are also more likely to experience ingrown toenails.

In this video, Dr. Girish Gupta, Consultant in Orthopaedics, Hand & Microvascular Surgery at Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, Jaipur, explains the prevention, home remedies, and treatment options for ingrown toenails. He discusses common causes and offers practical advice on how to avoid this painful condition.

Symptoms of an ingrown toenail include redness, swelling, and pain around the toenail, especially when pressure is applied. In severe cases, an infection can develop, leading to more significant discomfort.

Prevention involves proper toenail care such as trimming nails straight across, avoiding tight shoes, and keeping the feet clean and dry. Dr. Gupta also recommends simple home remedies such as soaking the foot in warm water, applying topical antiseptics, and using cotton or dental floss to gently lift the edge of the ingrown nail. However, if these measures don't provide relief, medical treatment may be necessary.

Ingrown toenail treatment can range from conservative approaches, such as trimming the nail or using topical treatments, to surgical procedures in severe cases. Dr. Gupta elaborates on when a more invasive approach, like removing part of the nail, might be needed to permanently resolve the problem.

If you're experiencing pain from an ingrown toenail, it's important to consult an orthopaedic specialist to prevent complications and ensure proper care. Early intervention can lead to faster healing and prevent recurring issues.
