How To Use Hydrogen Peroxide For Ingrown Toenail

On the method of using hydrogen peroxide to treat ingrown armor
The disease of ingrown armor often disturbs people's walking and causes foot discomfort. Hydrogen peroxide has its unique use in the treatment of ingrown armor.

If you want to use hydrogen peroxide to treat ingrown armor, the first thing to do is to prepare an adapter. A clean basin or small bowl can also be used, take an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide and pour it into it. Generally speaking, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is about 3%. This concentration can not only ensure its disinfection effect, but also not cause excessive irritation to the skin.

After that, the affected foot is lightly placed in hydrogen peroxide. If there is pus at the ingrown nail, it is even more necessary to fully soak it. When soaking, it takes a long time. About 15 to 20 minutes is appropriate. During this time, the hydrogen peroxide can fully act on the ingrown nail and surrounding tissues to achieve the purpose of disinfection and sterilization and relieve inflammation.

After soaking, take the affected foot lightly and dry it with a clean soft cloth or towel. Do not wipe the ingrown nail vigorously, so as not to damage the surrounding skin, aggravate pain or cause secondary trauma.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the use of hydrogen peroxide. If there is severe pain or obvious discomfort in the affected area during soaking, stop immediately and rinse with water. Because individuals have different tolerances to hydrogen peroxide, or there is a risk of allergies. And hydrogen peroxide is oxidizing. Although it has a therapeutic effect on ingrown nail inflammation, it should not be used frequently or excessively, so as not to destroy the normal acid-base balance of the skin and damage the health of the skin.

Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide is only one of the methods for treating ingrown nail. If the symptoms of ingrown nail are serious, such as inflammation that is difficult to eliminate and abscess that is very large, you must not rely on hydrogen peroxide alone. Seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice to get proper treatment.
