Ingrown Toenail Treatment
What are Ingrown Toenails?
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, inflammation and sometimes infection. This common condition can affect people of all ages and often worsens without treatment.
What are the common causes?
Ingrown toenails can develop due to incorrect nail cutting, tight footwear, nail trauma, naturally curved nails or repeated pressure on the toes. Some people are simply more prone to the condition due to the shape of their nails.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms often include pain along the edge of the nail, redness, swelling and tenderness. In more advanced cases, infection may develop, leading to discharge and difficulty wearing shoes comfortably.
How can we help?
We provide prompt treatment to relieve pain and remove the section of nail causing the problem. For recurring cases, we can discuss nail surgery, a highly successful procedure that helps prevent future ingrown toenails.
When should you seek treatment?
If you are experiencing pain, swelling or signs of infection, early treatment can help prevent complications and provide rapid relief.
