Marham, Pakistan's leading healthcare platform provides the list of top doctors for ingrown toenail treatment in Pakistan. You can book an appointment with a toenail doctor for an ingrown toenail surgery in Pakistan.
An ingrown nail is a condition of the foot that develops when the corner of the toenail grows down into the skin. This leads to intense pain, redness, and sometimes swelling in the toe.
In medical terms, this painful condition is known as “onychocryptosis”.
The ingrown nails can be treated in two ways;
Non-surgical treatment
Surgical treatment
The non-surgical treatment of ingrown nails involves the following home remedies and lifestyle modifications;
Soak your feet in soapy warm water. You should do this for about 10 to 25 minutes 4 to 5 times a day until you feel improvement in your toe region
Place cotton under your toenail
Try to apply petroleum jelly before going to bed
Choose comfortable footwear and do not wear tight shoes
Take pain relievers if the pain gets worse
Excessive inflammation, swelling, pain, and discharge may indicate an infection in the toenail and should be treated by a doctor immediately. You may need to take oral antibiotics or have your nails partially or completely removed. Doctors for ingrown toenails may surgically remove part of the nail, part of the underlying nail bed, and part of the adjacent soft tissue.
If the pain is severe or the infection continues to recur, doctors may remove part of the ingrown toenail (partial nail exfoliation). Anesthesia is injected into the toe, and the doctor uses scissors to cut the ingrown part of the toenail. Exposed nail beds can be very painful.
Removal of the entire ingrown toenail (complete nail loss) increases the chance that the toenail will return to its deformed state. It may take 3-4 months for your nails to grow back.
Marham provides a platform for online or in-person consultation with the best doctor for ingrown toenail treatment in Pakistan.
The major signs that may indicate you have ingrown nails are given below:
Pain and tenderness in your toe
Blood or pus that leaks from the toenail
Soreness, swelling, redness, and warmth
The major causes of this condition are given below;
Wearing shoes that are too tight around your toes
Chronic health problems including diabetes, thyroid, obesity, or kidney problems may increase the risk of ingrown nails
Repeated injuries while playing outdoor games
Treatment
Even though ingrown nails mostly get better on their own, they can require treatment in some severe cases. Your doctor may recommend the following treatments if you have severe pain or bleeding:
If left untreated, an ingrown toenail infection can lead to an infection of the toe bone. Toenail infections can also lead to foot sores or open sores and loss of blood flow to the infected area. The chances of tissue decay and tissue death at the site of infection can also be increased.
Several lifestyle adjustments can help to prevent ingrown toenails, including:
Wear low-heeled shoes that provide ample room for your toes, and stockings or moisture-wicking socks that allow your toes to move freely
Keep your feet clean and dry
Use toenail clippers (not nail clippers). If your toenails are exceptionally thick, try using a spring-handled tool called claw nippers
Cut the toenails according to the curve of the toe. Do not round the corners like fingernails and don't cut your toenails too short.
