For patients with abscessed ingrown nails, general treatment such as wearing comfortable sneakers, proper nail trimming, oral antibiotics when infected, and conservative treatment such as splinting and taping can be performed. Surgery can also be performed depending on the situation. 1. General treatment: choose the right size and comfortable shoes in daily life, avoid squeezing the toes and trim the nails correctly. When pus comes out from ingrown nails, patients need to use saline to rinse and apply antibiotic ointment such as metronidazole gel, erythromycin ointment, etc. If the infection is serious, oral antibiotic drugs such as amoxicillin. 2. Conservative treatment: use different methods to separate the embedded soft tissue of the nail plate according to the patient’s condition, such as separating with cotton ball, splinting method, tape method, nail plate bracket and so on. 3. Surgical treatment: for patients with moderate or severe ingrown nails or those who are not well treated with conservative treatment, surgical treatment can be chosen. Commonly used surgical treatments in clinic include partial or total nail plate avulsion, partial nail matrix removal, nail fold soft tissue excision, and thread knot method. When an ingrown nail occurs, you should go to the hospital in time, do not treat it privately, so as not to delay the condition.
