What Is an Ingrown Toenail?
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin instead of growing normally over the toe. This condition most commonly affects the big toe and can cause:
- Toe pain or tenderness
- Redness and swelling around the nail
- Irritation or pressure when wearing shoes
- Drainage or signs of infection
- Difficulty walking comfortably
Without proper treatment, an ingrown toenail can worsen and may lead to more serious foot complications.
What Causes Ingrown Toenails?
Several factors can contribute to developing an ingrown toenail, including:
- Cutting toenails too short or rounding the edges
- Wearing tight shoes that put pressure on the toes
- Naturally curved or thick toenails
- Injury to the toe, such as stubbing it or trauma
- Family history or inherited nail shape
Proper nail care and wearing properly fitting shoes can help reduce your risk of developing painful ingrown toenails.
When Should You See a Podiatrist for an Ingrown Toenail?
Many people try to treat ingrown toenails at home, but attempting to cut out the nail yourself can make the problem worse. You should schedule an appointment with a podiatrist if you experience:
- Increasing pain or swelling
- Redness spreading around the toe
- Drainage or signs of infection
- Recurring ingrown toenails
- Difficulty walking due to discomfort
Patients with diabetes, poor circulation, or other foot health concerns should seek professional care quickly, as even minor foot problems can become more serious.
