In-Grown Toenail – We Can Help
What are In-grown Toenails?
In-grown toenails are caused due to distress, disorders or damage to the nails on your feet. This is usually observed occurring on the big toe but can affect the smaller toes as well. An in-grown toenail is a full nail or a portion of the nail that grows into the skin or penetrates the skin’s surface causing pain and discomfort.
Common Reasons for In-grown Toenails
- Improper trimming
- Tight-fitting footwear
- Incurvated nails
- Chubby toes
How Can We Help?
In-Grown Toenails are painful and have the potential to turn from a small nail problem into a big problem very quickly. Our Ballarat podiatrists are highly skilled in treatments that fix an in-grown toenail.
At your appointment, our Ballarat podiatrists will assess the nail shape, the surrounding skin and whether the toe is infected. Our conservative care often involves a gentle reshaping of the nail, while in long-term and recurring cases, minor nail surgery may be required to provide a long-term solution.
