Understanding Ingrown Nails

An ingrown nail, medically known as onychocryptosis, is a common condition that occurs when the edge or corner of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin. This can lead to pain, discomfort, redness, swelling, and in severe cases, infection. If left untreated, ingrown nails can cause significant discomfort and impact your daily activities.

The Importance of Seeking Professional Help

While there are various home remedies and over-the-counter treatments available, it is crucial to seek professional help for effective and long-lasting relief. At The Foot Practice, our expert podiatrists have a deep understanding of the underlying causes of ingrown nails. They are well-equipped to provide targeted treatments tailored to your specific needs.

Tailored Ingrown Nails Treatment

Our dedicated team at The Foot Practice offers a comprehensive range of ingrown nails treatments that address the root cause of the problem and alleviate your symptoms. We understand that each case is unique, and our podiatrists are skilled in selecting the most appropriate treatment options for you.

1. Conservative Treatment Options

If your ingrown nail is in the early stages and not infected, our podiatrists may recommend conservative treatment methods. These options may include:

• Soaking: Soaking the affected foot in warm water with Epsom salts helps reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
• Lifting: Gently lifting the ingrown nail edge and placing a small piece of dental floss or cotton underneath can help guide the nail to grow properly.
• Topical Medication: Prescription-strength antibiotic ointments or creams can be applied to prevent or treat any potential infection.

2. Minimally Invasive Procedures

In more severe cases or when conservative treatments fail to provide relief, our podiatrists may recommend minimally invasive procedures to correct the ingrown nail. These include:

• Nail Trimming: Our skilled podiatrists will carefully trim the offending portion of the nail to relieve the pressure and reduce the chances of recurrence.
• Nail Splinting: Using specialized techniques, we can realign the nail and reduce its curvature, ultimately preventing the nail from growing into the surrounding skin.
• Partial Nail Avulsion: If the ingrown nail is persistent or recurrent, a partial nail avulsion procedure may be recommended. This involves removing a portion of the nail and the underlying nail bed to prevent further problems.

3. Preventive Measures and Education

At The Foot Practice, we believe in empowering our patients with the knowledge and tools to prevent future occurrences of ingrown nails. Our podiatrists will provide you with valuable guidance on proper foot care, nail trimming techniques, and footwear choices to reduce the risk of developing ingrown nails.
