How do you draw infection from an ingrown toenail?

Evidence that a toenail is actually infected is if the toe has swelling or redness & if there is pus underneath the toenail. If the toenail is infected, you can 1). with the the blade of a finger nail clipper CAREFULLY go under the nail and try pulling it from the skin, 2). soak your foot in a pan of epsom salt mixed with hot water for about 20-30 minutes. If neither work, or if you do not want to try clipping the infected nail yourself, make an appointment with a podiatrist.


Have a pain in your second toe?

Bummer. you may have an ingrown toe nail. that really is a bummer. sorry dude. If it is red, swollen and painful at the side of your toenail it is most likely an ingrown toenail. this is an infection caused by the nail growing into the skin. it can be prevented by cutting your toenails straight across. the best thing to do, though it is very painful, is to dig out the ingrown nail using a tooth pick, or something like that, and then stuffing some cotton wool under that bit of the nail so that the infection can heal; some antibiotic cream will also help. you may want to ice your toe beforehand to reduce the pain and swelling. The other possibility is that you have stubbed it, there may be brusing around the base of your toe. there is not much you can do, other than put some ice on it for a while to reduce the pain.AnswerIt could be due to Turf Toe – it’s an injury to toe joints caused by wearing the wrong kind of footwear—footwear that does not support the forefront of your foot. Most flexible footwear today does not support the forefront of the foot and Turf Toe is becoming more common. But I would suggest that you consult with your doctor. If the pain is related to your toe joints, you may want to consider taking a joint supplement like GoFlex. It’s a good formula, doctor-approved and contains some well-researched ingredients like glucosamine sulfate, hyal joint, and boswellin. They can help to restore joint health and bring joint pain relief. I would recommend joint supplements rather than pain killers which can cause serious side effects.


A cell membrane is very specific about what it allows across. How does this help the cell?

It is better for the cell if most molecules are prevented from entering.
