Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin. This common condition can cause significant pain, swelling, and sometimes infection if left untreated. Ingrown toenails often affect the big toe and can interfere with daily activities, footwear comfort, and overall mobility.
Common Symptoms include:
-
Pain and tenderness along the nail edge
-
Redness, swelling, and warmth around the affected area
-
Pus or discharge in cases where infection is present
Treatments We Provide:
-
Conservative care – gentle nail trimming, antiseptic soaks, and protective dressings to relieve pain and reduce infection risk.
-
Surgical care – partial or full nail removal with chemical root treatment for recurring or severe cases.
-
Infection management – treatment and advice to address infection when present.
-
Preventative advice – guidance on footwear choices and nail care techniques to help reduce the risk of recurrence.
