Some possible causes of recurring toenail problems include: • 1. Improper nail trimming • 2. Tight-fitting shoes • 3. Injury to the toe • 4. Fungal infections • To prevent recurring toenail problems, you can take the following steps: • 1. Cut your toenails straight across and avoid rounding the corners. • 2. Wear shoes that fit properly and do not put pressure on your toes. • 3. Protect your toes from injury by wearing appropriate footwear during physical activity. • 4. Keep your feet clean and dry, and avoid sharing shoes or socks with others. • 5. If you have a fungal infection, treat it promptly with over-the-counter or prescription anti-fungal medication. • If your recurring toenail problem persists despite these measures, it's best to see a doctor or podiatrist for further evaluation and treatment. If you have an ingrown toenail, there are a few things you can do to help relieve the pain and prevent infection: • 1. Soak your foot in warm, soapy water for 15-20 minutes, three to four times per day. • 2. Gently lift the edge of the ingrown nail and place a small piece of cotton or dental floss underneath to help it grow above the skin. • 3. Apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment and cover with a bandage. • 4. Wear comfortable shoes that do not put pressure on the affected toe. • 5. If the pain and infection persist, see a podiatrist for further treatment. • Subscribe to my channel: https://bit.ly/2N2a2R0 • The office website is www.metropodiatry.net • For footcare products that I highly recommend, visit https://amzn.to/3IVZBLG • Follow me on • Instagram: / dcfootdoctor • Twitter: / dcfootdoctor • Facebook: / dcfooto • Kevin E.
