Ozawa is a victim of ingrown toenails.

Ozawa is an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient. He cuts his nails almost every day. If he doesn't cut his nails, he will be very uncomfortable and always feel uncomfortable. However, the habit of cutting nails did not make Ozawa's feet more beautiful, but brought him a lot of trouble.

Sometimes it is common to bleed if you cut deeply, and sometimes even the nails will swell up, and the nails will grow deep into the meat, which hurts when you walk, even if you don't cut. The more you cut, the longer it is inside, a vicious circle.

Ozawa doesn't understand that nail cutting is a good habit, and why toenails always grow meat.

The toenails grow into the flesh, and there is a proper term in clinic-ingrown toenails. Incarceration is very common in foot surgery, and the most common reason is improper manicure. Under normal circumstances, our toenails should be flush. If the edge is trimmed unevenly or excessively, it is easy to stab the tissues around the toenails, leading to the ingrowth of toenails.

Of course, the formation of ingrown toenails is also partly caused by congenital local malformation.

Clinically, doctors often divide ingrown toenails into three types, mild, moderate and severe. Mild ingrown toenails can cause mild edema and tenderness, and the pain is aggravated when walking or pressing toenails. When it develops to moderate ingrown toenail, the soft tissue of nail groove will form a tough white film-like object, which will be closely embedded after a long time. Once the toenails are pressed against the white membranous object, there will be severe pain and inflammation, and local skin will be red and swollen, but it will not fester or grow granulation. Severe ingrown toenails will affect walking due to severe pain, because at this time, the nail groove soft tissue begins to be red, swollen and even ulcerated, and inflammation will spread to the nail root to form granulation tissue, secrete purulent serous fluid, and emit unpleasant gas due to infection with bacteria.

Therefore, although ingrown toenails are not a serious illness, they are very exciting.

So, what should patients with ingrown toenails do?

At present, there are two methods to treat ingrown toenails in clinic. First of all, for shallow ingrown toenails, we can adopt "mild" conservative treatment.

The so-called conservative treatment means no knife. To prevent infection, patients can soak in iodine solution for 20-30 minutes, 2-3 times a day, or soak their feet with hot water every night. The process of soaking feet is to soak the toenails soft, then pick out the toenails that grow in the meat with nail clippers and other instruments, and finally pad a small amount of cotton and replace them regularly. This can prevent toenails from growing into the meat. When toenails grow to a certain length, pay attention to the pruning method, so that toenails will not be embedded in the future.

For those with moderate or severe toenails, the toenails have been inflamed, infected and suppurated, so it is generally not recommended for patients to handle them themselves. Because the infection has occurred, if the patient does not have enough medical knowledge to do the background, it may aggravate the infection. In addition, moderate and severe toenails are very serious, and it is difficult for patients to pick out their toenails in a conservative way. In this case, they usually need to go to the hospital for removal and then pressure dressing. For heavier ingrown toenails, surgical treatment is recommended, and part of nail matrix or nail wrinkle wall soft tissue is removed.

Long toenails affect the beauty of nails, so the most important thing for us is to prevent toenails.

In fact, it is very simple to prevent toenails from getting fat. You can do three things well, that is, cut your toenails correctly, wear the right shoes and pay attention to hygiene. Irregular trimming of lateral toenails can easily stab the tissues around toenails and affect the normal growth of toenails, so it is necessary to trim them neatly to avoid trimming them too deep and too short. Shoes that are too tight or too sharp tend to squeeze the outer edge of the toenails and grow inward. In order to avoid long toenails and wear comfortable shoes, don't wear shoes with mismatched sizes or pointed high heels or tight shoes for a long time. You should also pay attention to washing your feet to avoid bacterial infection and toenails.

We should not only pay attention to ingrown toenails, but also pay attention to the following three abnormalities so as not to cause serious diseases.

1, foot edema

Many people have experienced foot edema, which is caused by many reasons, the two most important of which are thrombosis and kidney disease. Most people with cardiovascular diseases are prone to thrombosis, and when vascular embolism occurs in veins of lower limbs, it will cause edema of feet. Kidney disease is easy to make endocrine system unstable, improve vascular permeability, so as to make interstitial water, leading to foot edema.

2. Foot ulcer

The wound on the foot is difficult to heal, which is the most common symptom of diabetic patients. Diabetes patients' blood sugar rises, which is easy to destroy the nerve of the foot, and the ability of perception, circulation and healing will also be weakened. Therefore, we should pay attention to check the abnormal situation of the foot in daily life to avoid the occurrence of diseases.

3. Frequent foot spasms

Dehydration or lack of exercise can easily lead to frequent foot spasms. For example, when lying down, a muscle of the foot or the surrounding muscles will suddenly spasm and then feel sore. In this case, it is necessary to take more nutrients such as calcium, potassium and magnesium.

Feet are a barometer of health. Pay attention to protect your feet at ordinary times, don't bump, don't scratch and don't get sick.
