The image above shows a severely infected ingrown toenail with thick yellow-green pus draining from the side of the nail. The surrounding skin is swollen, red, and tight — clear signs of an advanced paronychia or toenail abscess.
An ingrown toenail occurs when the nail edge grows into the surrounding skin. Once bacteria enter the area, the body reacts by producing pus, creating pressure and intense throbbing pain. If not treated promptly, the infection can spread deeper into the soft tissue and cause serious complications.
⚠️ What Causes This Type of Severe Toe Infection?
Several common factors can lead to this painful condition:
-
Cutting toenails too short or rounded
-
Wearing tight or narrow shoes
-
Poor foot hygiene
-
Nail trauma
-
Untreated fungal nail infections
Over time, the trapped bacteria multiply, and the swelling increases — leading to visible pus buildup like in the image.
