My sister has been suffering from severe pain around her first toe nail from the past two weeks. The area around nail is swollen and discharging pus. She applies antiseptic and soak foot in warm salt water for temporary relief. But it is not helping and is getting worse day by day. Please help.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. The main symptom of an ingrown toenail is the pain from the nail growing into the skin instead of over it. If the ingrown toenail gets infected, it might be swollen or red, and it might drain pus. The area around the ingrown toenail is often painful. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
