What to do if your toenails grow into the flesh?

Summer is here again, and it is the season when many girls pursue beauty. I believe many girls have started wearing beautiful open-toed sandals. But there are also many girls who are still troubled by their toenails. I believe many people have experienced toenails growing into the flesh. Toenails growing into the flesh not only affect the appearance, but also cause difficulties for the patient in walking, bleeding, etc. Now I will briefly introduce a little method to you, I hope it will be effective for people whose toenails grow into the flesh.

Many people's toenails keep growing into the flesh. Generally speaking, toenails that grow into the flesh are called ingrown toenails. Ingrown toenails are a relatively common type of foot disease. In most cases, it is caused by the edges of the toenails being trimmed too low or too deep, and by the habit of wearing skinny or pointed shoes that squeeze the toes.

In the early stages of ingrown toenails, there may be slight pain and slight swelling. If not treated in time, it will not only cause worsening pain, but also cause systemic symptoms such as fever. Some people may even have their sleep affected. This indicates that an infection has occurred and paronychia has occurred.

Paronychia is characterized by severe local redness, swelling, and heat, accompanied by severe pain, and may cause severe throbbing pain at night. In the early stages, hot compresses, physical therapy, external application of ichthyol ointment or Sanhuang powder, and the use of iodineamine or antibiotics can be used. If there is pus, a longitudinal incision can be made at the nail groove for drainage.

When the infection has spread to the subcutaneous area around the nail base, a longitudinal incision can be made in the nail grooves on both sides, the epithelial sheet on the nail root can be turned up, the root of the nail can be removed, and a small piece of vaseline gauze or latex sheet can be placed for drainage. If pus has accumulated under the nail bed, the nail should be removed or the nail above the abscess cavity should be trimmed. When removing nails, be careful to avoid damaging the nail bed to prevent deformities of the new nails in the future.

I believe everyone has understood the methods introduced above, but what I need to remind everyone here is that because it involves the soft tissue on the surface of the skin, please do a good job of anti-inflammatory work in time and avoid inflammation and redness and swelling caused by improper treatment. Secondly, if your symptoms are severe, please seek medical attention promptly to avoid worsening of the illness due to delay.
