Ingrown Nails
Ingrown toenails occur when the edge or corner of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling. This condition is commonly found on the big toe and can result from improper nail trimming, tight footwear, or injury. If left untreated, an ingrown toenail may become infected, leading to further discomfort. Early treatment involves soaking the foot, wearing loose shoes, and gently lifting the nail, but more severe cases may require medical intervention, such as nail removal or a surgical procedure.
Fungal Infections in Nails
Fungal infections in nails, also known as onychomycosis, occur when fungi invade the nail bed, causing the nail to become discoloured, thickened, and brittle. These infections are more common in toenails than fingernails and are often triggered by warm, moist environments, such as sweaty feet in tight shoes. Risk factors include poor hygiene, nail trauma, and compromised immune systems. Treatment typically involves antifungal medications, either topical or oral, but it can take months for the nail to fully heal. In severe cases, nail removal may be necessary.
