Have you ever got anxious about pain around your
toenail, hence making you avoid walking or
wearing shoes? One of the most common problems is
ingrown toenails, when the edge of the toenail
grows into the skin surrounding it, leading to
painful, swollen, and infected skin. Therefore,
it is important to understand the symptoms,
causes, and treatment measures for ingrown
toenails for them to be effectively relieved.
Find out about the diagnosis and treatment of
ingrown toenails so that you are well-equipped
with the knowledge to pursue the ideal
care. Symptoms and Causes of Ingrown
Toenails Inflammation, in the form of redness,
swelling, or tenderness, that occurs around the
toenail is usually one of the most common ingrown
toenail symptoms. Unless this condition is
treated, the infected area will fester. Symptoms
multiply with increasing pain and pus. The
causes of ingrown toenails are Improper nail
trimming Nails that are cut too low, or are
overly rounded, cause the nail to grow into the
skin. Tight-fitting shoes Choosing smaller shoes
that press the toes together will cause the nail
to dig into the surrounding skin.

Injury A toenail injurysuch as one from
stubbing your toe or dropping something on itcan
cause ingrown nails. Genetics Some people's
nails are inherently shaped or thick in a way
that makes them more likely to get an ingrown
toenail. Diagnosis of Ingrown Toenails Diagnosis
plays a crucial role in the treatment of this
condition. A healthcare provider, such as
an orthopedic specialist in Mumbai, examines the
affected toe to determine the severity of the
condition. He may look out for the signs of
infection in the form of redness, swelling, and
discharge. Sometimes finding out if some bone
problem underlies the situation may require an
X-ray to be taken. Consulting a specialist in
orthopedics, Dr. Pradeep Moonot allows for a
thorough examination and proper diagnosis, which
will assist in the development of a treatment
plan.

Non-Surgical Treatment The majority of cases
involving ingrown toenails are mild to moderate
and can be successfully treated without surgery.
This is commonly done by Application of foot
soak The use of a foot soak with Epsom salt will
enable the reduction of swelling and instigate
pain relief. Propper nail care Leaving the edge
of the ingrown nail in position by inserting a
small piece of cotton or dental floss between the
nail and the skin edge to guide the nail to grow
above the skin edge. Antibiotics The doctor can
give a prescription to apply topical or oral
antibiotics if there is an infection. Supplementar
y Therapy Changing to wide shoes and avoiding
tight shoes would not rub against the toe which
would continue to aggravate and prevent the
toenail healing. These non-invasive methods
often offer good results to most people and are
generally the first line of treatment advised by
physicians for ingrown toenail treatment in
Mumbai.

Surgical Treatment Options Must be resorted to
in severe cases or recurrence of the
condition. Ingrown toenail surgery in
Mumbai usually involves removing a piece or the
whole of the nail to prevent further incidence.
The most common types of surgeries are Partial
nail avulsion Removes only that part of the
nail it hurts by becoming ingrown. Total nail
avulsion Removal of the entire toenail can be
done in worse cases. Matrixectomy Destruction
or extirpation of the nail matrix to prevent that
part of the nail from regrowing. These
procedures are typically performed under local
anesthesia and have high success rates.
Consulting with experienced ingrown toenail
surgery doctors in Mumbai ensures you receive the
best care and follow-up support.
