In-grown toenails
From snoring to baldness, bad breath to pongy feet there are plenty of complaints for the average man to get worked up over. Here’s our guide to the most common causes of discomfort and embarrassment for men.
Ailment: In- grown toenails
The problem: The nail in question starts to grow into the skin, causing pain, swelling, redness and in some cases some rather unpleasant pus-leakage if the toe becomes infected.
How to treat: In-grown toenails are usually caused either by incorrectly cutting a nail, or by wearing shoes which are too tight. Go shoe shopping in the afternoon as feet swell over the course of the day.
Embarrassment factor: 2/10 – at least it’s on the foot, which can be covered up in most circumstances. Pus is never good, though.
