I'm also concerned about ingrown toenails.
The middle toenail is loose and about to fall off.
I can hear it, so whenever I touch it, the pain is severe. ~
It seems like pus is also forming a little.
My big toenail is an ingrown toenail.
The inside of my right big toe nail is digging into the flesh.
It is swollen and red, and pus has also appeared.
I also had surgery~
Cut the right toenail all the way to the inside.
They also remove the pus and then stitch up the flesh in that area.
After surgery
I've been wearing large slippers for 2 to 3 weeks.
I remember struggling because I couldn't walk properly.
It was summer back then, so it was tough ㅠㅠ
Whenever you have a cold, antibiotics are prescribed~
Taking antibiotics also worsens gut health~
Couldn't even wash properly until the stitches are removed.
It was no small hardship~
After the surgical wound has fully healed
It was okay for a while.
It takes a long time for the cut toenail to grow back.
The new nail is not as smooth as before.
It develops a slight curve~
Recently, another toenail is also having problems.
He said he has pain in the middle toenail area when walking.
Upon closer inspection
The middle toenail is lifting and about to fall off~
Pain is severe when the toenail touches somewhere.
There is pus coming out too.
It's not about growing up pretty from now on.
It is growing while looking at the sky.
I think I want to give up ㅠㅠ
I'm worried about the toenails in this precarious situation~
The thumb that was operated on as well
It seems like the end part is going into the flesh.
Sometimes, when I wear low-height shoes
There is some pain~
Walking on a bumpy and uneven road
There is also pain in my toenail.
I also used to apply a correction for ingrown toenails.
I didn't experience any particular effect.
I tried hanging dental floss because I heard it would be good.
It tends to flow down after a while~
Recurrent ingrown toenail!
Ingrown toenails tend to recur easily.
To prevent recurrence and avoid the development of ingrown toenails
You should cut your toenails straight across, not rounded like fingernails.
It is said that it is better to cut it a little longer.
If you cut your toenails into a rounded shape, the tips may curl inward~
I thought I was trimming my nails straight so they wouldn't be round like nails.
It seems I need to cut it a bit straighter.
It's better to wear shoes that are not too tight and have some room in the toe area.
Now that I think about it
My big toe nail seems to have become slightly thicker.
I think we need to take measures to prevent it from getting worse.
If you just neglect it
I can't even imagine having to undergo surgery again like before.
Inward toenail? Ingrown toenail?
A condition where the toenail penetrates into the flesh, causing inflammation and pain.
It occurs especially frequently on the right big toe.
If the friction worsens, swelling and pus may occur, and the area around the toenail can become infected. In such cases, the smell becomes strong, pain intensifies, and walking properly becomes difficult.
What causes ingrown toenails?
It occurs easily when the toenail continuously presses on the flesh outside the nail.
If you cut the outer edge of your toenail deeply with nail clippers, uncut nail fragments hidden beneath the skin can penetrate into the flesh.
In cases where toenail fungus has been left untreated for a long time and the shape of the toenail has become deformed
When wearing tight shoes for a long time,
It often occurs due to increased internal pressure when the toe bone protrudes.
It often occurs in cases where toenails naturally become more curved due to obesity or aging.
When family members are affected by this disease, other family members tend to become more attractive, and hereditary factors also have a significant influence.
[ Ingrown Toenail Treatment ]
In mild cases, inserting a cotton ball or dental floss between the edge of the ingrown toenail and the flesh underneath may prevent the need for surgery.
In case surgery is needed,
First, remove the side of the ingrown toenail plate that has penetrated, and then remove the edge cuticle of the toenail that covers the top.
To prevent recurrence, the ingrown nail plate is excised vertically, and at this time, the nail bed tissue is removed together or electrocoagulation is performed using high-frequency current.
[ Ingrown Toenail Prevention ]
Ensure that no pressure is applied to the foot.
[Ingrown Toenail Prevention Lifestyle Guide]
Trim your toenails straight across.
Expose the edges of the sides of the toenail to the outside.
If you have had diabetes for a long time and have diabetes-related complications, you need to manage it more thoroughly.

저녁노을고생이 심하시겠네요 원인을 아는 병이니까 병원 가셔서 치료ㅈ받으세요 발이ㅇ편해야 걷기가 편하죠 걸을때 많이 아프고 신경 쓰이겠어요
프카쟁이엄마가 내성발톱 이라 피부과 방문한 적이 있었는데요. 이게 통증도 심하고 잘못하다간 발톱이 빠지거나 발가락에 변형을 가져올 수 있어서 걱정이 많았답니다. 엄마 같은 경우는 끼는 신발을 신으시는 것도 아니고 도대체 왜 그 증상이 생겼는지 원인도 알 수가 없었는데.. 아무래도 손발톱을 너무 바짝깍았던 게 원인이지 싶어요. 하여간 피부과에 방문해서 약을 먹을랬더니 약의 성분이 독해서 우선 피검사로 간이 괜찮은지 확인 후에 약을 주실 수 있다고 ;;;; 엄마의 경우는 간수치가 좋지 않아서 결국 약을 드시지도 못했어요... 정말 다행히도 조금씩 자연치유가 되긴했는데 한번 겪고 나니 또 걸릴까봐 걱정;;; 간이 안좋으니 걸려도 약을 못먹을까 걱정;;; 그렇네요... 하여간.. 발이 끼는 신발 되도록 신지 마시고.. 증상 있으시다면 빨리 병원 방문해서 치료받는게 우선입니다. 약이 독하다니 혹여 부작용 있지는 않은지 잘 챙기시고요~~~ 왜 이렇게 건강하게 살기가 힘이 드나요~~ ;; 건강하세요~
