Abstract

Ingrowing nail is that the soft tissue of the side of the nail is penetrated by the edge of the nail plate, resulting in pain, inflammation, the formation of granulation tissue. This disease is common in adolescence and adult, but rare in infant. So far, there has not been reported ingrowing nail associated with onychomycosis mycologically confirmed. We report a case of congenital hypertrophic lip of hallux, a subtype of infantile ingrowing nail, in a 6 month-old-male, associated with onychomycosis due to Candida parapsilosis.
