Ingrown toenails can be painful and prone to infection. We provide safe, professional treatment options—from conservative care to minor procedures—to relieve discomfort and prevent recurrence.
Ingrown toenails happen when the edge of the nail presses into the surrounding skin, often on the big toe. This can cause pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection—even from something as simple as the pressure of socks or bedsheets.

In some cases, a small benign growth called a granuloma may form along the nail border due to chronic irritation.
While some mild ingrown nails improve with home care, recurring pain, swelling, or discharge may signal the need for professional attention. You should contact us if you notice:
Early treatment can prevent complications like infection, nail deformity, or deeper tissue damage.
Our chiropodists are trained to manage ingrown toenails gently and effectively, offering both conservative care and permanent correction options.
For first-time or mild cases, we may carefully trim the nail edge, elevate the nail with sterile packing, recommend saltwater foot soaks, and prescribe topical or oral antibiotics if infection is present.
If the problem is chronic, we may recommend a simple, effective procedure performed in our clinic’s surgical suite. This includes:
This procedure is painless, with minimal downtime. Healing usually takes 3–4 weeks, and the nail will appear slightly narrower—without the risk of regrowth on the treated side.
We take a compassionate, clinical approach to nail care and treat ingrown toenails with precision and care.
Don’t wait for an ingrown toenail to worsen. Whether it’s a one-time issue or a recurring problem, our team is here to help you heal comfortably and confidently.
