Unguis Incarnates (Ingrown toenails)

Ingrown toenails are a common problem, especially on the big toes. They arise if the toenail grows into the skin next to it. That area becomes inflamed and painful. Ingrown toenails usually become noticeable early on because they hurt. If treated in time, it is often possible to manage the inflammation on your own. It will then heal without any consequences. Inflammation can spread in people who have a weakened immune system and if bacteria infect the wound: That can cause an inflammation with pus around or under the entire nail. The toe can be soaked in a soapy footbath and then the sore part of the toe can be treated with antiseptic or anti-inflammatory tinctures, gels or creams.
