Product Information

Soaking your foot in warm water three or four times a day for a few days, to help soften the skin around the toe While toenail growth can be corrected in a number of ways, devices that draw the most attention clamp around the edges of the toe and lift the edges out of the nail folds, gradually correcting the nail’s growth. The nail brace was created in 1872 and requires no surgery or anesthesia. Repeated activity: Any activity where you are constantly impacting the edge of the toenail may eventually cause that toenail to grow unnaturally. The best toenail correction tools for you are suited to your particular problem: a nail file alone won’t be much help for an ingrown toenail. Also, nail correction tools should be well made and durable enough to serve you for many years. For toes too painful to touch, a local anaesthetic will be injected before removing the offending portion of nail

Personalized NAIL CLIPPER Custom Engraved Nails Salon Nailclipper Cutter Birthday Gifts for Her Women Girlfriend Mom Gift If your ingrown toenail doesn't grow out by itself, your GP or podiatrist (foot specialist) may recommend surgery. A toenail is made up of keratin, the same protein as hair. The cells of a toenail are constantly growing in an area called the nail matrix that’s by the cuticle, located under the lunula (the white half-moon shape). As these cells multiply, the old ones get pushed up and forward. By the time these cells are visible, they’re dead, which is why it doesn’t hurt to trim your nails.If you wear high heels at work, leave them at the office and wear comfortable shoes like trainers when commuting Always buy new footwear in the afternoon. Our feet swell as they get warmer, and new shoes that were comfortable when bought in the morning may be too tight later in the day One of the biggest reasons at-home nail treatment is unsuccessful is because it takes months of daily diligence to correct a growth problem and many people simply neglect caring for their toes over time. FAQ Q. What is an ingrown toenail? A. When the edge or corner of a toenail (usually on the big toe) grows into the skin surrounding the nail, you have an ingrown toenail. You’ll likely first notice an ingrown toenail because it’s uncomfortable. The skin around the nail may be swollen, tender, red, or hard. As the condition advances, the pain will intensify, possibly making it hard to wear shoes or walk. The area surrounding the toenail may even begin to bleed or ooze pus. An ingrown toenail won’t go away on its own, so you must take action to remedy the situation. With the proper tools and procedures, most ingrown toenails can be treated at home. Q.

You’re diabetic. Diabetes reduces the blood supply to the feet, meaning foot conditions can be slow to heal. Also, because of numbness or reduced sensitivity in the feet, you could have an ingrown toenail and not feel it However, not everyone identifies an ingrowing toenail correctly. Sometimes, they have a curly nail which has a lot of debris (dirt or fluff) underneath it or a corn or callus down the side of the nail, which can be just as painful. However, if it’s a corn, you tend to experience a throbbing pain as opposed to the sharp pain you get with an ingrowing toenail. If this is the case, your podiatrist will remove the debris, and, if necessary, thin the nail. Is it serious? The downside is for some individuals it can take as long as 6 to 12 months to be effective. After nail growth has been corrected, improper trimming, constrictive footwear, or repeated actions can cause the problem to return. Nail cleaner: This is a tiny tool with a thin, spoon-like tip. Its purpose is to scoop out any dirt that has accumulated beneath the front edge of the toenail.

Besides heredity, there are three main reasons why a toenail may grow incorrectly: improper trimming, constrictive footwear, and repeated activity. Nail clipper/nipper/scissors: If you don’t already own a nail clipper, nipper, or scissors, look for a toenail correction kit that has one or more of these devices. If you don’t keep your toenails properly trimmed, you’ll eventually wind up with problems. While most people use a nail clipper, nail scissors produce a cleaner cut. The next best option is a nail nipper because it’s a far more versatile tool than a clipper.

Nail cutters aren’t a good idea because the curved cutting edge can cut the flesh, and nail scissors can slip. It’s best to use nail nippers (available from chemists) because they have a smaller cutting blade but a longer handle. Cut your nails straight across and don’t cut too low at the edge or down the side. The corner of the nail should be visible above the skin. Also, cut them after a bath or shower when the nail is much softer.
