This image shows a severe case of an infected ingrown toenail<\/strong>, medically known as paronychia<\/strong>. The swollen, red skin around the nail is filled with pus \u2014 a clear sign that infection has developed beneath the surface.<\/p>\n

What may start as a simple nail problem can quickly turn into a painful condition if not treated early. In advanced cases like this, pressure builds up under the skin, causing throbbing pain, swelling, and visible discharge.<\/p>\n

What Causes an Ingrown Toenail Infection?<\/h3>\n

This condition often develops when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin. Common causes include:<\/p>\n

\u2714 Cutting nails too short or unevenly
\u2714 Wearing tight or narrow shoes
\u2714 Poor foot hygiene
\u2714 Nail trauma or injury
\u2714 Repeated pressure on the toes<\/p>\n

Once bacteria enter the broken skin, infection begins \u2014 leading to pus formation like seen in the image.<\/p>\n
