INGROWN NAIL

Ingrown nails can be caused by improper nail trimming, wearing tight or ill-fitting shoes, injuring your nail, or having naturally curved nails. Genetics can also play a role in making some people more prone to this condition.

We treat ingrown nails by carefully removing the ingrown portion of the nail, treating any infection if present, and providing guidance on proper nail care to prevent recurrence. In severe cases, a minor surgical procedure may be necessary to remove part of the nail.

Our treatments are designed to minimize discomfort. While you may experience some pain or tenderness during the procedure, we use techniques to reduce pain and ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible. Most patients feel immediate relief after treatment.

To prevent ingrown nails, trim your nails straight across without rounding the edges, wear properly fitting shoes with enough room for your toes, and avoid cutting nails too short. If you are prone to ingrown nails, regular professional foot care can help manage and prevent them.
