Ingrown Toenails common causes

Signs You May Have an Ingrown Toenail

You may need podiatry care if you have:

Pain along the side of the toenail.
Redness or swelling around the nail.
Tenderness when wearing shoes.
Pain when walking, running or playing sport.
Skin growing over the nail edge.
Fluid, bleeding or discharge.
A nail that keeps becoming painful in the same area.
Difficulty cutting the nail safely.

If the pain keeps returning, the nail shape, footwear pressure or cutting technique may need to be assessed.

Toenail

Common Causes of Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown toenails may develop from nail shape, footwear pressure, trauma or cutting technique.

Curved Nail Shape

Some people naturally have nails that curve into the surrounding skin, making irritation more likely.

Incorrect Nail Cutting

Cutting nails too short or down the sides can encourage the nail edge to irritate the skin.

Toe Trauma

Stubbing the toe, dropping something on it or repeated pressure during sport can damage the nail.

Sport and Repeated Pressure

Running, football, netball and other activities can increase pressure around the toenails.

Family History

Some people are more likely to develop ingrown toenails because of inherited nail shape.

Previous Nail Injury

A damaged nail may grow differently and become more likely to irritate the surrounding skin.

Recurring Nail Problems

If the same toenail keeps becoming painful, a more permanent treatment option may need to be discussed.

How We Treat Ingrown Toenails

Treatment depends on the severity of the nail, the level of inflammation and whether the problem is recurring.

Nail and Skin Assessment

Your podiatrist assesses the nail edge, surrounding skin, pain level and any signs of inflammation or infection.

Conservative Treatment

For mild or moderate cases, treatment may involve carefully clearing the painful nail edge and reducing pressure on the skin.

Dressing and Care Advice

Your podiatrist may dress the toe and explain how to care for it after treatment.

Footwear Review

We can review shoes that may be contributing to pressure, especially work boots, school shoes and sports shoes.

Prevention Advice

We provide guidance on nail cutting, footwear and pressure reduction to help reduce recurrence.

Minor Nail Procedure

For severe or recurring ingrown toenails, your podiatrist may discuss a minor procedure to remove part of the nail edge and reduce the chance of the problem returning.

Toenail

Ingrown Toenail Treatment Options

Treatment is based on your symptoms, nail shape, pain level and whether the problem keeps returning.

Nail Edge Removal

Your podiatrist may carefully remove the painful section of nail that is irritating the skin.

Conservative Nail Care

Mild cases may be managed with careful nail care, pressure reduction and advice on cutting technique.

Dressing and Aftercare

The toe may be dressed after treatment, with clear instructions for home care.

Footwear Advice

Shoes that press on the toes can make ingrown toenails worse. We can provide advice on shoe fit and pressure reduction.

Advice for Children and Teenagers

Ingrown toenails are common in young people and may be linked to school shoes, sport or nail cutting habits.

Minor Nail Surgery

If the ingrown toenail is severe or recurring, a minor procedure may be recommended where clinically appropriate.

Recurrence Prevention

We help identify factors that may be causing the nail to keep becoming irritated.

Referral Where Required

If further medical care is needed, we can guide you on the appropriate next step.
