In pathology, the nail plate grows into the side of the finger. As a result of ingrowth, an inflammatory reaction occurs and severe pain appears. In some cases, these processes can become chronic.
Causes of ingrowth.
Some reasons may cause this condition.
• Improper nail treatment. In this case, the nail is cut off too much, the tips are rounded off or a sharp corner remains, or the nail is cut very short.
• Incorrectly selected shoes. Shoes that do not fit or are too tight and constricting can lead to this condition. If there is a constant mechanical impact, the nail begins to change the direction of growth after a while. Constant stress on the lower extremities can also lead to the disease.
• The pathology can be caused by congenital or acquired defects in the toes, which increase the effect on the thumbs.
• Fungal infections of the nail. With this pathology, changes occur on the nail bed.
• Skin lesions and diseases.
Signs of a problem.
The first and main sign of the disease is pain, which is detected on the fingers and becomes stronger if a person is in motion. Due to the constant impact of the nail on the soft tissues, ulcerative lesions may occur on the fingers at the site of the lesion, as well as swelling and throbbing pain. If the process takes a long time, permanent changes occur on the fingers and nails.
Where to turn if the nail is ingrown.
To get rid of the problem, you need to visit a doctor. If the disease is caused by inflammatory or fungal diseases, it is necessary to be cured. If there are adverse effects after the disease, you need to undergo additional examination methods to clarify the diagnosis.
Home correction of ingrown toenails.
With the help of such correction, it is possible to get rid of pathology only at an early stage, it is necessary to disinfect the feet with warm baths with a solution of ordinary soda, potassium permanganate or furatsilin. The bath should be taken several times a day until the symptoms of the disease disappear. After carrying out a softening and disinfecting bath, it is necessary to put cotton wool under the edge of the nail. After softening the tissues surrounding the nail, you need to carefully remove the nail and treat the rest with iodine. Another method to get rid of an ingrown nail is to use a file to cut a groove in the middle of the nail, so that the nail is tightened and the edges of the nail rise.
