At our clinic, many patients come in with significant anxiety about treating an infected ingrown toenail. They often arrive in severe pain but leave feeling much better after receiving proper care. An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing redness, swelling, and pain, often accompanied by infection. Common causes include improper nail trimming, trauma, or genetic predisposition.
Treatment involves gently numbing the toe and carefully removing the portion of the nail causing the problem. For those with recurring ingrown toenails, we offer a procedure to remove the nail root, which permanently prevents the ingrown section from re-growing.
If you're struggling with an ingrown toenail, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment. The treatment is quick, gentle, and virtually painless, allowing you to return to your normal activities with relief and confidence.
