The image above captures a painful and advanced ingrown toenail infection with visible greenish-yellow pus draining from the side of the nail. The swelling, redness, and fluid buildup are strong signs of a bacterial infection known as paronychia or a toenail abscess.
When the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, it creates an opening for bacteria to enter. Over time, the infection worsens, leading to pressure buildup and the formation of pus. The green tint often indicates a deeper or more aggressive infection that requires proper medical treatment.
⚠️ What Causes Severe Toenail Infections?
Ingrown toenails can become infected due to:
-
Cutting nails too short or curved
-
Wearing tight or narrow shoes
-
Poor foot hygiene
-
Repeated trauma to the toe
-
Untreated fungal infections
If left untreated, the infection can spread deeper into surrounding tissues and, in rare cases, lead to more serious complications.
