Ingrown Toenails
Free your toes from pain with our ingrown toenail treatment
Ingrown toenails, also known as onychocryptosis, is a common condition that occurs when the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin. It can cause pain, redness, and swelling in the affected area, as well as an increased risk of infection. Ingrown toenails can be caused by a variety of factors, including improper trimming of the nails, tight-fitting shoes, and foot injuries. To treat ingrown toenails, a podiatrist may first remove the portion of the nail that is ingrown. Antibiotics may be prescribed if an infection is present. In some cases, a podiatrist may also recommend a temporary or permanent removal of the affected nail to prevent future recurrence. It's important to seek treatment for ingrown toenails early to prevent further complications.
