Offering long-term solutions for ingrowing toenails

What is an ingrowing toenail?

An ingrowing toenail occurs when the side of the nail starts to curve and grow into the sides of the toe. If left untreated, it can cause extreme discomfort and pain. It is also common for a bacterial infection to develop in the area which may require treatment with antibiotics.

Suffering from persistent ingrowing toenails?

Sometimes ingrowing toenails can be easily and quickly treated with a routine appointment. If more severe, minor surgery can be carried out to remove the part of the nail which is causing the problem. This is carried out using a local anaesthetic, and a chemical may be used to ensure the painful part of the nail doesn't grow back again. With an excellent success rate at Ferguson and Knowles Podiatrists, nail surgery is a highly effective treatment for permanently correcting ingrowing toe nails.
