  Ingrown toenails account for approximately 20% of foot problems in primary care. The great toe is most often affected. Ingrown toenails occur most commonly in young men, and nail care habits and footwear are most often contributory factors. […] Ingrown nail, also known as onychocryptosis or unguis incarnatus, represents approximately 20% of foot problems presenting to family physicians. It occurs when the periungual skin of the lateral nail fold is traumatized by its adjacent nail plate, resulting in an inflammatory foreign body reaction. This often results in a painful, draining, foul-smelling lesion and hypertrophy of the involved nail fold. […] The natural history of untreated ingrown toenails is supported by few data, and no consensus on the best treatment technique is available. However, ingrown toenails are usually treated because they typically persist or progress if not properly addressed, which results in a progressively more painful digit that affects a person’s functional ability. Clinical classification based on severity may help guide therapy. Most severe cases of ingrown toenail exhibit chronic granulation formation and nail-fold hypertrophy.

Physical examination findings may vary depending on the stage of the disease. The initial presentation, corresponding to stage 1, is characterized by signs of inflammation in the affected toe: pain, swelling, and erythema. The initial stage is followed by an acute infection with seropurulent drainage and ulceration of the nail fold, causing more edema and tenderness (stage 2). Chronic infection leads to the formation of hypertrophic granulation tissue, which increases the compression and thus adds to the swelling and discharge (stage 3).

Indications for the treatment depend mainly on the stage of the condition, prior treatment modalities in case of recurrence, and other factors, including allergies to local anesthetics, pregnancy, and bleeding disorders.
