Distal toe pulp impingement in new born

    I have had two new borns, 3 weeks, in the past two months with distal impingement of the great toe nails into the toe pulp, causing an ingrown toe nail reaction.

    I have used and demonstrated a steristrip technique for drawing the pulp of the toe away from the growing nail.

    Anyhting else I should do?

    That is all I have done in the past along with making sure there is no tight sock and body suits with the feet in (onesies). Usually find they grow of it pretty fast however there has been the odd on that has required surgery at a young age. Just keep mum informed on when to re-present.
