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 相當常見,約佔初級保健足部問題的 20%,通常影響大腳趾。它們在年輕男性中更為常見,通常是由於他們護理指甲和穿鞋的方式所致。無需手術的簡單治療方法包括調整鞋子、控制汗水和指甲真菌以及將棉花或牙線放在內生的指甲下。對於輕度至中度的病例,使用棉質指甲模型或用膠帶粘貼甲褶等選擇可能會有所幫助。手術的目的是防止甲板陷入甲襞,減少發炎和復發。最常見的手術方法是切除部分甲板。可以透過手術、化學藥物或電外科手術來預防復發的基質切除術。 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 or 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.
