Are you suffering from an ingrown toenail, both distressing and annoying? Oh My Mag explains the causes and offers tips to help you avoid ingrown toenails being a painful experience.
Causes of an ingrown hoof on the foot
An ingrown toenail occurs when a section of the hoof grows into the lining of the hoof. This creates a blister or even a lesion (called fungus) at the base of the foot. Ingrown toenails especially affect the large thumb.
They are always due to the inadequacy of a very poor shoe, or to the risk of damaging the very poor hoof. If you also suffer from excessive sweating of the feet, you are more likely to develop an ingrown hoof and to develop fungus. A toe injury can also cause an ingrown hoof.
Symptoms of an ingrown toe
The serious sign of an ingrown toenail is pain. Whether it's a distinguished or intense paradox, it's the sign of a blister on the skin. It intensifies if you touch the inflamed area. The area where the toenail penetrates the skin is red, rarely puffy, or even riddled with pus. The toenail may be thickened on the surface of the blister.
