If you are experiencing pain in a toenail, it may be ingrown. Signs include inflamed skin, swelling and, sometimes, infection around the toenail. Often you can take care of ingrown toenails on your own. But if the pain is severe or spreading, you need to call Mountain Home Podiatry to schedule an appointment.
Ingrown Toenails happen when the nail grows so that it cuts into one or both sides of the paronychium or nail bed. When the nail grows into the flesh, it can become painful, sensitive to the touch, red, swollen, and in some cases, become infected.
