내성발톱 때문에 통증이 생겨 많이 불편하시겠어요. 집에서 잠깐 손질하면 좋아지는 경우도 있지만, 지금처럼 누르면 아프고 걸을 때까지 통증이 있다면 병원에서 상태를 확인받는 게 훨씬 안전해요. 피부과나 정형외과에서 간단한 교정만으로도 금방 편해지는 경우가 많거든요. 교정 패치 같은 제품은 가벼운 초기 단계에서만 도움이 되고, 통증이 지속되는 지금 상태라면 근본 해결은 어렵기 때문에 일단 진료 한 번 받아보시는 걸 추천드려요!
My ingrown toenail hurts so much it wakes me up from sleep. Can I manage it at home?
I woke up in the middle of the night with a pain in my toenail.
When I checked, I found that the nail had been cut too short, and the corner of the nail was digging into the flesh and was red and swollen.
When I gently pressed on my nail, the pain got worse.
I quickly lifted the tip of my toenail with a nail clipper and cut it off a bit.
When I sit still, it seems like there is no pain, but sometimes I feel a little pain.
The pain got worse when I walked.
Can I manage ingrown toenails at home?
Or should I seek treatment from a dermatologist or orthopedic surgeon?
If there is a way to relieve pain and correct the shape of toenails in daily life without going to the hospital, please share it~
I'm also curious to know if products like ingrown toenail correction patches are actually effective in relieving pain or correcting toenails.
