Medical Video: How to Fix Ingrown Toenails At Home
Cantengan symptoms will feel very painful and will usually get worse if not treated. Ingrown nail is a condition in which toenails or hands have a sharp end that grows down into the flesh of the toes or hands. Cantengan nails are more common in the legs.
Ingrown toenails are usually caused by cutting the nails too short, using shoes that are narrow, or the big toe bumping against a table leg or wooden door. This can cause broken nails and eventually grow into and cause cantengan. So what are the symptoms of cantengan?
Various symptoms of cantengan
In addition to the causes mentioned above, people who are elderly, have diabetes, or have problems with blood circulation in the legs have a greater chance of experiencing ingrown toenails (cantails). This also applies to children and adolescents who may wear narrow shoes.
Commonly occurring cantengan symptoms include:
- toes that are hardened, swollen and feel brittle around the nails
- redness, festering and very painful and feels hot around the nails
- pain in the fingers along one or both sides of the nail
You need to immediately see a doctor if you feel pain in your toes or there is pus or redness that seems to spread. This can be a symptom of the infection you have already infected.
In addition, if the infected nail is infected, it will cause pain that does not go away, and the nails bleed and fester.
Canting nails that are left infected can become recurring problems and cause serious complications, such as bone problems.
If nails that grow inward are not infected, you can try a number of medications at home to reduce the pain and prevent the canthes from reappearing.
If you have diabetes or other conditions that cause poor blood flow to your feet, immediately visit your doctor.
