Specialised Treatment for Ingrown Toenails

At Healthy Steps Foot Clinic, we understand the discomfort and inconvenience that ingrown toenails can cause. Our skilled podiatrist is dedicated to providing specialised care and tailored solutions for ingrown toenail problems.

Assessment and Diagnosis

Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, redness, swelling, and potential infection. Our experienced podiatrist will conduct a thorough assessment to accurately diagnose the extent of the ingrown toenail and its underlying causes.

Conservative Treatment

For mild cases of ingrown toenails, we offer conservative treatments such as soaking the foot in warm water, gently lifting the ingrown edge, and providing guidance on proper nail care techniques.

Advanced Solutions – Ingrown Toenail Surgery

In cases where conservative measures do not provide relief or when the ingrown toenail is recurring, our skilled podiatrist can perform ingrown toenail surgery. This minor procedure involves removing a portion of the ingrown nail to alleviate pain and prevent future occurrences. Our podiatrist will ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Prevention and Education

Beyond treatment, we aim to educate you on how to prevent ingrown toenails in the future. We'll provide advice on proper nail trimming, footwear choices, and maintaining good foot hygiene.
