Ingrown Toenails
This common condition occurs when a
corner of the toenail becomes trapped under the skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling. Treatment: Soaking the afflicted toe in lukewarm, soapy water or Epsom-salt solution softens
the nail and drains the infection. For more serious or persistent problems, the nail
edge is removed in the office, under local anesthesia.
