Relief for Painful Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin instead of lying flat. This common condition often causes pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. In more severe cases, drainage or a foul odor may be present, making shoes uncomfortable and walking painful.
At Lake Ridge & Stafford Foot & Ankle Specialists, we identify the underlying cause of your ingrown toenail, whether it is improper nail trimming, tight footwear, or naturally curved nails. Treatment may include topical or oral medications, antibiotic ointments, or minor in-office procedures to safely remove part of the nail and relieve pressure. These procedures are quick, effective, and provide long-lasting relief.
Prevention is also key. We recommend trimming nails straight across, wearing shoes with a comfortable toe box, and scheduling regular podiatry visits if you are prone to recurring ingrown toenails.
