Ingrown Toenail
Hi doctor!
I am writing this to ask about my Ingrown toenail. I am suffering from swelling, pain in one of my toe nail and can feel the nail inside the skin. I am not sure how to take care of it and whom to consult.
Please advice on this, do I need to get this naol completely removed? I see that 90% of my nail is healthy it's just that one side is growing inside.

Hi, it is ingrown toe nail. It can happen because of tight uncomfortable footwear or some trauma. For now, you can apply an antiseptic or antibiotic cream and do hot fomentation for few days. Try and cut your nails straight and not in curved manner as prevention. Wear loose comfortable footwear. Pls consult with pictures for further advice. Thanks.
