Rolled nails are usually ingrown nails, which can be corrected on their own by padding with cotton wool balls, using dental floss or nail plate brackets and tapes. If this does not work, surgery is required.
Patients with ingrown nails can use a cotton ball pad between the embedded nail plate and the adjacent nail groove, and some patients can use dental floss instead of a small cotton ball to go around the nail groove and the nail plate. Additionally, the patient may be able to secure the surface of the nail plate with a nail plate holder or tape the nail fold on the embedded side.
If the above treatments do not work or if moderate-to-severe ingrown nails are present, surgical treatments such as partial nail matrix removal, partial or total nail plate avulsion, etc. are required.
Patients need to wear properly sized shoes, trim their nails in a proper manner, and avoid having the lateral edge of the nail plate exceed the lateral nail fold. In addition, patients with more serious ingrown nails, you need to consult a doctor in a timely manner, you can choose the appropriate measures for treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
