Effective Treatment for Ingrown Toenails

An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge or corner of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. This condition most often affects the big toe and can result from improper nail trimming, tight footwear, injury, or genetic factors influencing nail shape. Without proper care, an ingrown toenail can worsen and cause recurring infections or chronic discomfort.


We provide thorough evaluations to assess the severity of your ingrown toenail and identify contributing factors such as nail curvature, footwear habits, or underlying biomechanical issues. Treatment options are tailored to your specific case and may include gentle nail elevation, trimming and reshaping, topical or oral antibiotics for infection, and protective padding or footwear adjustments. For recurrent or severe cases, a minor in-office procedure may be performed to remove part of the nail or the underlying nail root to prevent future ingrowth.


Our goal is to relieve your pain, treat infection, and prevent recurrence so you can walk comfortably and confidently. From conservative care to advanced corrective procedures, we offer safe, effective solutions to restore the health and appearance of your nails.
