Ingrown toenails are a common medical condition where the edge or a toenail, typically on the big toe, grows sideways and cuts into the surrounding skin. This leads to symptoms like redness, pain swelling, and potential infection. Despite the discomfort they cause, there are simple strategies and treatments to manage and prevent them. This blog will share knowledge on what to do with ingrown toenails.
Understanding the causes of ingrown nails is instrumental in their prevention. Improper toenail trimming, toenail injury, wearing tight shoes, and having naturally curved nails are among the most common causes.
Since the way you cut your nails can contribute to ingrown nails, always cut them straight across and not too short. Avoiding tight shoes and socks allows your toes to breathe and move freely, reducing pressure on the side of the toenails. Washing your feet regularly and keeping them dry also plays a role in preventing this condition.
As for pain relief and infection prevention, over-the-counter topical pain relievers and antibiotics can aid in managing symptoms. CANhaveTODAY’s Healing Legends possess both properties due to the presence of essential oils from frankincense, myrrh, and bergamot in its formulation. Find out more by reading our blog!
