Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown toenails can be painful and prone to infection, often resulting from improper nail trimming or pressure from tight footwear. At The Foot Center, we provide gentle, effective care to relieve discomfort and prevent recurrence. Our approach includes both immediate relief and practical advice on preventing future issues.

What are Ingrown Toenails?

Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, and sometimes infection. This condition commonly affects the big toe and can result from improper nail trimming, tight shoes, or trauma. Without prompt treatment, ingrown toenails can become infected and require more invasive care.

Common Signs of Ingrown Toenails

- Pain along the edge of the toenail
- Redness or swelling at the nail border
- Pus or fluid discharge
- Tenderness when pressure is applied
- Hard or swollen tissue around the nail
- Infection at the nail edge
