Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, swelling, and sometimes infection. Some people turn to nail salons for relief but risk infection or worsening the condition, especially if the tools used are not properly sanitised.
Professional Treatment for Ingrown Toenails
Podiatrists are specialists qualified in foot and toenail health. They can accurately diagnose the severity of an ingrown toenail and determine the best course of treatment. The podiatrist will assess the condition and provide advice on proper nail care to prevent recurrence, thus avoiding further complications.
Safe and Effective Nail Surgery
If the ingrown toenail needs to be partially or fully removed, podiatrists can perform nail surgery under local anesthetic using properly sterilised instruments. They also address any underlying foot issues contributing to the problem, such as recommending custom orthotics.
Take the First Step Toward Better Foot Health
If you have an ingrown toenail, seeing a podiatrist ensures professional, safe treatment and long-term relief. Don’t risk complications—consult a podiatrist for proper care.
