An ingrown nail is a condition in which a fingernail or toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain and inflammation. It occurs mostly in toenails, most commonly the big toenail.
Early on, the area swells and oozes, and it may begin to fester due to inflammation.

After surgery, warmth, swelling, infection or complications may occur at the surgical site, so continuous care is needed.
Recovery varies from person to person depending on each patient's health and condition.
Be sure to follow the post-operative precautions and restrictions to prevent complications.
Avoid strenuous movements even if you feel no pain.
