An ingrown nail, also known as onychocryptosis is a common form of nail disease. It is an often painful condition in which the nail grows so that it cuts into one or both sides of the paronychium or nail bed. While ingrown nails can occur in the nails of both the hands and the feet, they occur most commonly with the toenails (as opposed to fingernails), and for the most part are only problematic and painful on the big toe.
Ingrown toenails(內生趾甲)相當常見,約佔初級保健足部問題的20%,通常影響大腳趾。它在年輕男性中更為常見,主要與指甲護理方式及穿鞋習慣有關。無需手術的簡單治療方法包括調整鞋子、控制足部出汗、處理指甲真菌感染,以及在內生指甲下放置棉花或牙線。對於輕度至中度病例,可使用棉質指甲模型或以膠帶固定甲褶等方式協助。手術的目的是防止甲板陷入甲襞,減少發炎與復發。最常見的手術方式是部分甲板切除。亦可透過基質切除術,使用手術、化學藥物或電外科手術來預防復發。 Ingrown toenails are quite common, accounting for about 20% of foot problems in primary care, often affecting the big toe. They're more common in young men, often due to how they care for their nails and the shoes they wear. Simple treatments without surgery include adjusting footwear, managing sweat and nail fungus, and placing cotton or dental floss under the ingrown nail. For mild to moderate cases, options like a cotton nail cast or taping the nail fold might help. Surgery aims to prevent the nail plate from digging into the nail fold, reducing inflammation and recurrence. The most common surgical method involves removing part of the nail plate. Matrixectomy, which prevents recurrence, can be done through surgery, chemicals, or electrosurgery.
Ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis 或 unguius incarnatus) 是皮膚科常見的指甲問題。 Ingrown toenail, also known as onychocryptosis or unguius incarnatus, is the most common nail problem encountered in podiatry, general family practice, and dermatology.
可透過正確修剪指甲來預防內生爪 (Ingrown nail)。太小或太窄的鞋子會加劇腳趾甲的問題。
○ 治療 - 非處方藥

可用棉花或薄紙將指甲挑起,使指甲與受影響的皮膚分離。
