20071220ADA的tip-如何处理长弯的脚指甲

Question:
What should I do if I have very curved toenails?

问：如果我的脚指甲长得非常弯，应该如何处理呢？

Answer:
If you have deeply curved or ingrown nails, you may need help trimming them. Do not try to cut or dig out the curving toenail. You can injure yourself doing this. In addition, without the right tools it is easy to leave a fragment of the nail that will turn into an ingrown toenail and make the problem worse. This kind of nail can be challenging even for professionals to cut. It is best to go to a podiatrist or health care provider who is trained to trim them. They have special tools that make it easier to trim very curved toenails.

答：如果脚指甲长得很弯，或者已经嵌入肉里面，你可能需要别人帮忙来处理。不要试图自己减或者把弯曲的指甲挖出来。你可能会伤到你自己。另外，没有合适的工具，你很容易把脚指甲的碎片留在脚趾的肉里面，然后情况就会更糟糕。这种脚指甲即便专业人员来处理也很难。最好要找足病医师来处理，因为他们受过专业的训练，有专业的工具来处理非常弯的脚指甲。
