Ingrown Toenail

This is a most common condition treated by podiatrists today. Some patients are born with a tendency to develop ingrown toenails and some patients cut their nails improperly and develop ingrown toenails. Shoes can aggravate ingrown toenails but usually don't caused them.

It is important to always trim nails straight across using clean, sharp toenail clippers. This should never be done if the patient is a diabetic or has poor circulation.

Ingrown toenails can be permanently removed and a simple operation performed in the office under local anesthesia. The affected toe is blocked near the base of the toe not at the end, the ingrown part of the nail is removed and a chemical is applied to nail matrix which prevents that portion of the nail from regrowing. This is a quick simple solution to oftentimes a chronic painful condition.
