Ingrown Nails


What are Ingrown Toenails?

This painful condition results when the nail grows into the skin. If not treated it will become infected

Causes:

Improper nail trimming, fungal nails and/or other nail growth abnormalities

Treatments:

If the nail has simply been cut incorrectly, the podiatrist can remove the infected portion (also known as Paronychia). For a recurring problem, the corner of the nail-or, in some cases, the entire nail-may be removed. A normal nail will grow in. Fungus nails have oral and topical treatments available

The definitions and treatments listed above are for informational purposes only and should not be considered diagnosis of your particular problem.
