What should I do if my toenail grows into the flesh?

Some people dislike their ugly toenails, but there are also some people whose toenails have grown into the flesh, which is not only ugly but also very painful. What should I do at this time? First, the doctor told us that the toenail growing into the flesh may be caused by paronychia. In this case, you can use iodine tincture disinfectant for local disinfection, but it is best to go to the hospital for examination and receive symptomatic treatment after the condition is confirmed.

If you find that your toenails are growing towards the flesh and want to treat it, take a look at the methods described below.

1. Toenails growing into the flesh is medically called "paronychia". Patients will suffer from this disease once every one or two months. It is not only extremely painful, but also swollen. If it is not treated for a long time, it can easily lead to infection and become more difficult to treat. It is recommended to go to the hospital to remove the nail.

2. Generally speaking, "paronychia" does not occur at birth, but is mostly caused by personal factors, such as trimming the toenails too severely, always wearing shoes with pointed toes, and not being willing to throw away shoes that are too small and continuing to wear them. Although you have achieved the goal of saving money, your health has been harmed. Wear a pair of suitable shoes, keep your feet clean and hygienic, and paronychia will stay away from you.

3. What should you do if you get paronychia? It is impossible to cut your nails all the time, as this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. If the trimming is not done properly, it can easily cause bacterial infection of the foot tissue, aggravate the trauma of the foot, and cause other foot diseases.

4. For paronychia, it is best to go to the hospital and let the doctor remove the affected toenail and apply medicine, which may be of great help. But for some people, even if the toenails are pulled out, the new toenails may still grow into the flesh. So be sure to go to a regular hospital and let the doctor help you deal with it to avoid recurrence.

Many people's toenails grow into the flesh, but they do not pay attention to it, which eventually leads to serious paronychia. Therefore, we would like to remind those friends whose toenails are growing into the flesh that they should seek treatment as soon as they notice the symptoms. They should wear loose and breathable shoes on a daily basis and leave space for their feet to reduce the situation of toenails growing into the flesh.
