Whether the problem is mild, painful, infected or recurring, our goal is to provide clear advice, relieve discomfort and help reduce the chance of the nail becoming a repeated issue.
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.
Common Causes of Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails may develop from nail shape, footwear pressure, trauma or cutting technique.
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.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment Options
Treatment is based on your symptoms, nail shape, pain level and whether the problem keeps returning.
