Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, redness, and swelling. This condition often affects the big toe and can result in a painful spot near the toenail. If left untreated, an ingrown toenail can lead to an infection or the formation of a granuloma, which is a small area of inflammation caused by tissue irritation. Granulomas are the body’s response to persistent inflammation and can appear as red, swollen, and sometimes bleeding areas near the toenail.
Identifying the Symptoms of an Ingrown Toenail
Common symptoms of an ingrown toenail include pain and tenderness along the sides of the nail, redness and swelling around the affected area, and possible infection signs such as pus or increased warmth. If a granuloma has formed, you may notice a small, red, and swollen mass of tissue that may bleed easily. Recognizing these symptoms early can help you manage the condition before it worsens.
