Ingrown toenails cause the skin of the toe at the edges of the nail to become painful. There may be swelling and redness, new inflamed tissue (granuloma), and infection. It is important to note that not everyone with an ingrown toenail necessarily has an infection, many adults develop pressure pain without the nail piercing the skin. For some, the nail can simply curl over time and press on a sensitive part of the nail bed that is not designed to take this pressure.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

The big toe is most commonly affected. Often home remedies such as soaking the foot and toe in salty warm water helps, but may not fully eliminate the swelling, redness or infection associated with ingrown toenails, especially once they have been present for more than 2 weeks.

In clinic your Podiatrist will reshape the nail to reduce the pressure it is putting on the nail bed. Footwear, socks and toe separators maybe advised.

Ingrowing Toenail Surgery

When conservative treatments are insufficient, our ingrowing toenail surgery offers a permanent solution to recurring ingrown toenails. Our skilled podiatrists perform precise procedures to resolve the issue and promote proper nail growth, ensuring long-term relief for our patients. Ingrown toenail surgery is a quick and effective. It is minimally invasive and performed under local anaesthetic, providing a pain free experience.
