About Ingrown Nails
Ingrown nails, also known as onychocryptosis, occur when the edge of a nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling. While this condition can affect any nail, it most commonly occurs in the toenails. If left untreated, ingrown nails can lead to complications such as infections or chronic discomfort. It is important to seek professional care for proper treatment and prevention.
Professional Podiatrists for Effective Treatment
At The Foot Practice, our team of highly skilled podiatrists specializes in diagnosing and treating ingrown nails. With years of experience in the field, our podiatrists have successfully helped numerous patients overcome this condition and achieve lasting relief.
When you visit our clinic, our podiatrists will perform a thorough examination of your foot and nail condition. They will carefully assess the severity of your ingrown nail and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Treatment Options
Our podiatrists offer a range of effective and appropriate treatments for ingrown nails:
- Nail Trimming: In mild cases, our podiatrists may carefully trim the ingrown nail to relieve discomfort and promote proper growth.
- Nail Splinting: For more severe ingrown nails, we may utilize splints or braces to gently lift the ingrown edge and guide the nail to grow straight.
- Partial Nail Removal: In cases where conservative treatments are unsuccessful, our podiatrists may recommend a partial nail removal procedure. This is a minor surgical intervention performed under local anesthesia where the ingrown portion of the nail is removed.
Prevention and Self-Care Tips
While seeking professional treatment is crucial for ingrown nails, there are several self-care practices that can help prevent their occurrence or recurrence:
- Proper Foot Hygiene: Regularly clean your feet and trim your nails straight across to avoid sharp edges.
- Wear Proper-Fitting Shoes: Ensure your shoes provide enough room for your toes and do not squeeze them together.
- Avoid Nail Manipulation: Refrain from picking, tearing, or cutting your nails too short, as this may contribute to ingrown nails.
- Seek Prompt Treatment: If you notice any signs of an ingrown nail, such as pain or swelling, seek professional care immediately to prevent complications.
