No, ingrown is not an action verb. It is an adjective- as in ingrown toenail. Ingrown describes what type/kind of toenail malady. It can also be used as a noun as well. Refer to webster's online dictionary. This will help more.
not if you have an ingrown toenail... then it is perfectly normal
it's an ingrown toenail
take a needle go right into the the part of the toenail by the skin, lift the toenail up with the needle and take the nail clippers and cut it back. or in the front of your toenail right in the middle, cut a v shaped figure. the point of the v should be facing up the toenail. this way the toenail will grow toward each other and will prevent ingrown toenails to happen.
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the toenail grows into the skin instead of over it. This can cause pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. Proper nail cutting technique and wearing comfortable shoes can help prevent ingrown toenails.
It is only a toenail, there is no reason to be scared of it! Some people find relief from ingrown toenails by cutting a small "v" shaped wedge out of the nail in the centre of the affected toe. Checking that your shoes fit correctly also helps.
Ingrown toenails hurt because what is happening is that your toenail is penetrating the skin. when anything penetrates your skin it will hurt. The toenail will press on nerves in the toe. another reason that it hurts is that it is infected. The way to treat an infected ingrown toenail is to remove the toenail from the opening in the skin with nail trimmers then soak the toe in warm salt water. Hope this helps!!
A condition where the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, often causing pain and infection.
