Ingrown Toenail
Symptoms of Ingrown Toenails
When the edge of a toenail grows into the adjoining skin, swelling and redness often occur due to inflammation from tissue damage. Other symptoms may include:
- Pain that worsens when pressure is applied.
- Pain when standing or walking, especially if shoes are tight in the toe box.
- Infection (redness, pus, red streaks, swelling, warm to the touch).
