The Most Painful ingrown toenail

Watch The Most Painful ingrown toenail video on DTube


An ingrown toenail develops when the sides of the toenail grow into the surrounding skin. The nail curls and pierces the skin, which becomes red, swollen and tender. The big toe is often affected, either on one or both sides. Other possible symptoms include: "1" Pain if pressure is placed on the toe "2" Inflammation of the skin at the end of the toe "3" A build-up of fluid in the area surrounding the toe "4" an overgrowth of skin around the affected toe "5" Bleeding "6" White or yellow pus coming from the affected area.

Without treatment, an ingrown toenail can become infected, so it’s important that you:

  • Keep your feet clean by washing them regularly with soap and water
  • Change your socks regularly
  • Cut your toenails straight across to stop them digging into the surrounding skin
  • Gently push the skin away from the nail using a cotton bud (this may be easier after using a small amount of olive oil to soften the skin)
  • Wear comfortable shoes that fit properly
