This can lead to the nail pinching and digging into the skin.<\/p>\n<h2>How to deal with ingrown toenails<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s common to see a dermatologist for the treatment of ingrown toenails. However, depending on the condition of the nail, one may visit a surgeon or a plastic surgeon. Regardless, it is recommended to first visit a dermatologist.<\/p>\n<p>It is probably a valid option to visit surgeons after meeting a dermatologist.<\/p>\n<p>Main treatments include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"b\">Removing a section of the nail to create a artificial nail, and minimise the angle of growth.<\/li>\n<li class=\"b\">Inserting a highly elastic wire to minimise the angle of growth overtime.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Like braces on teeth, these methods take a long time. If these methods are ineffective, surgery also becomes an option.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, a typical surgeon may just cut the nail for treatment, yet other plastic surgery clinics may undergo methods to remove the entire nail. In fact treatment using wire can&#8217;t be covered by insurance and costs from 4000 to 20,000 yen.<\/p>\n<br \/>\r\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- nail-disease -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3149459478775714\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"4365508703\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<h2>Different treatment for ingrown toenails depending on the hospital<\/h2>\n<p>The treatment for ingrown toenails has not been standardised, is based heavily on treatment culture of the hospital and the judgement of the doctor. It is recommended to research a hospital before you visit for treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, it&#8217;s better to have ingrown toenails treated earlier. If the condition has been left unattended for a prolonged period of time, there is a risk of infection in the bones. Any signs of ingrown toenails creating any discharge or causing pain requires the immediate attention of a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the ingrown toenail may cause some inflammation. In such a case it would become impossible to even wear shoes due to the pain. Immediate treatment would be required.<br \/>\n\u3002<\/p>\n<h2>Prevention<\/h2>\n<p>Cutting the bent toenail and wearing shoes with a circular tip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingrown toenails are a condition when the nails dig into the skin as a pathway for growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tume.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tume.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tume.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tume.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tume.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=204"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tume.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":620,"href":"https:\/\/tume.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204\/revisions\/620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tume.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tume.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tume.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
