- Abstract
The article focuses on Onychocryptosis, also known as an ingrown toenail or unguis incarnatus, which is a common form of nail disease in the pediatric population. Topics discussed include the pathology of the disease which occurs when the lateral nail groove no longer facilitates unopposed distal growth of the toenail; medical management of the disease including serial treatments of soaking the foot in warm, soapy water, followed by application of antibiotic ointment until symptoms resolve.
