About the treatment

​

Ingrown toenail management is carried out by our registered Podiatrist, to help you achieve pain relief, clear up an infection, and prevent future ingrown toenails.

 

Nail Surgery isn't always necessary, if your ingrown toenail isn’t too severe, it can be profiled.

 

A nail surgery can be booked and local anesthetic can be administered if your toe is too painful. To book this Schedule an appointment 'Surgery Assessment' online or call 010303272404.

 

​

What is an Ingrown Toenail?

​

An ingrown toenail affects the large toe in most cases but can also affect the other toes. An ingrown toenail occurs when a sliver of nail pierces the flesh at the side of the nail. The condition can be extremely painful and occasionally the toe can become infected. If an infection is present, the toe will become very inflamed and can produce exudate.

​

What causes ingrown toenails?

​

The way your nails grow

Incorrect nail cutting

Injury to the nail

Tight shoes and socks

​

​

Our footwear choices can also lead to ingrown toenails. Tight shoes and socks can push the nail into the flesh and can cause the nail to become ingrown.

We do find that the most common cause of an ingrown toenail is incorrectly trimming toenails. If you do have problems trimming your toenails a Podiatrist can help.
