HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR INGROWN TOENAILS

-
Ingrown toenails are a common condition in which the corner or side of a toenail grows into the soft flesh. The result is pain, redness, swelling and, sometimes, an infection. Ingrown toenails usually affect the  big toe.

Causes
Common ingrown toenail causes include:
·         Wearing shoes that crowd your toenails
·         Cutting your toenails too short or not straight across
·         Injuring your toenail
·         Having unusually curved toenails

Symptoms
Ingrown toenail symptoms include:
·         Pain and tenderness in your toe along one or both sides of the nail
·         Redness around your toenail
·         Swelling of your toe around the nail
·         Infection of the tissue around your toenail

Complications
Left untreated or undetected, an ingrown toenail can infect the underlying bone and lead to a serious bone infection.
Complications can be especially severe if you have diabetes, which can cause poor blood flow and damage nerves in your feet. So a minor foot injury — a cut, scrape, corn, callus or ingrown toenail — may not heal properly and become infected
