What is the reason for this?<\/b><\/h2>\n
Onychocryptosis<\/strong>is multifactorial and can be due to both extrinsic<\/strong>factors (microtrauma, footwear, inadequate nail cutting, poor hygiene, etc.) and intrinsic<\/strong> factors (genetic predisposition, malformation of the nail plate, biomechanical alterations, hyperhidrosis, presence of underlying bone pathology, digital deformities, systemic diseases, etc.). (1,3). (1,3)<\/span><\/p>\n The diagnosis is purely clinical and three degrees are differentiated; (4)<\/span><\/p>\n The most affected areas are the external areas of the first<\/strong>toe<\/strong> of both feet, although it can also occur on any toe.<\/strong> (1,4) (1,4)<\/span><\/p>\n The definitive treatment is surgical<\/strong>; these are painful processes that require anaesthesia and limitation of physical activity, as well as a probability of post-surgical<\/strong> infections<\/strong>, so it would only be indicated in severe cases<\/strong> of the disease.<\/span> In mild cases<\/strong>, conservative<\/strong>treatment<\/strong>would be indicated, which is divided into palliative techniques<\/strong> (speculation; removal of the nail spicule embedded in the soft tissue) and techniques for re-education of the nail plate<\/strong> (metal and plastic orthonyxia, resin nails, cotton wool technique, plastic cannulas, dental floss). These are painless<\/strong>, uncomplicated techniques, although they are not definitive treatments, as most have long-term recurrence rates. (1,4) (1,4)<\/span><\/p>\n Preventive measures that should be taken to avoid this pathology are the following: properly fitting shoes that leave enough space around the toes<\/strong>, keeping the feet clean and dry<\/strong>, trimming the toenails straight<\/strong>.
