Abstract
Ingrown toenail, or onychocryptosis, is a common inflammatory disease of the hallux. It results from the alteration of fit of the nail plate in the lateral nail fold. They are usually seen in adolescents and young adults and can affect daily activities and social life. Generally, ingrown toenails are classified into three stages, including inflammatory stage, abscess stage and granulation stage. Here we have presented the rare case of a male with a diagnosis of paronychia with sporangium formation causing an ingrown toenail.
