Many people have written in
to tell us that while they are pretty sure that they know the signs of ingrown
toenail or fingernail, they wanted to see if a physician could provide a
succinct description of the symptoms of ingrown toenail and finger nails. Below
is a question and answer with this concern.
Question:
Having an ingrown toenail or finger nail is a common
disorder that is most commonly experienced on the biggest and smallest toes.
However, in the case of toe nails it is possible that the nail on any toe or on
either side of the nail can become ingrown. Sometimes it looks like a nail
embedded in the skin or it may appear as a sharp corner or spike penetrating
out like a knife. Signs of ingrown toenail and fingernail are minor discomfort followed by increasing
pain as the nail grows deeper into the skin. Ingrown toenail symptoms also
include both redness and swelling at the corner of the toe nail due to pressure
or from the fact that the nail has penetrated the skin. At this point, there
may not be infection but it could occur if the signs of ingrown toenail are
ignored.
Early signs of ingrown fingernail or toenail include pinkish, inflamed tissue at the
end of the finger or toe. After awhile, mild swelling appears and it may feel
inflamed. Once an infection sets in, the swelling will become worse. White-
or yellow-colored drainage from the tissue around the finger or toe nail may
also appear. The toenail’s skin will appear as a raw, beef-red color with a
lump of skin swelling over the nail edge. This stage of an ingrown toenail or
fingernail is called paronychia. In rare cases, you may develop a fever due to
the infection.
When you develop any ingrown toenail infection (or fingernail) with fungus
infection, I would recommend trying ZetaClear, an incredible over-the-counter
solution that is 100% natural and 100% effective in quickly curing the toe nail
fungus infection which may accompany severe cases of ingrown toenails. ZetaClear
effectively treats and prevents any reoccurrence of finger and toe nail
infection. I have seen many people alleviate their infections within seven days
of starting treatment with ZetaClear.
