First, we must define the difference between ingrowing and ingrown nails, as the treatment is not always the same for both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*It\u2019s important to note that we only work on open wounds after an MD has approved or recommended the client or patient to us, and doing so with success prevents painful invasive surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingrowing nails are caused by changes in the curvature of the natural nail plate, splintering of the lateral nail plate, or changes in the nail unit skin structure. That is the root cause for ingrowing nails. Ingrown nails are caused by ignoring or not properly treating ingrowing nails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to ingrowing or ingrown nails, we usually think of toenail problems in the feet. When we mention toenail problems or nail problems, we turn into strange beings. \u2018Cover up\u2019 is the name of the game, with \u2018denial\u2019 being our best friend. However, when we really think about it, we see that sometimes situations occur that we have no control over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also tend to be embarrassed about foot infections of any kind and, therefore, we tend to act too slowly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the real world where most of us live, there comes a moment in time when you can\u2019t reach your feet to take care of them. Or maybe life just got in the way. You find yourself suddenly living alone when your partner always took care of your feet. Or you broke your hip, and there is no way for the next 6 months you are coming anywhere close to being able to take care of your feet. Or maybe you got some kind of fungal infection at the swimming pool, and you are too embarrassed to let anyone see it\u2026. And that\u2019s where the story begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
