Care
Ingrown Nail
An ingrown nail manifests as pain around the nail and requires careful monitoring. "If nothing is done, the pain can become permanent."
In case of inflammation, the skin around the nail can become red with swelling; the area feels hot and very painful. This situation can quickly worsen and may lead to the discharge of purulent fluid. This is a sign of infection. Consult quickly before reaching this stage!
Therefore, "Preventing nail trauma" is very important:
Take good care of your nails by regularly trimming them with healthy cuts and properly shaping the corners, following the curved outline of the nail to avoid ingrowth. Toenails should be cut straight across. Choosing the right shoes is also crucial: they should be comfortable, fit well, and allow for airflow.
