Ingrown toenails are a common complaint that can just be ‘niggly’ and progress into a nasty infection. An ingrown toenail can be caused by tight footwear, trauma or incorrect cutting.
South Coast Sports Podiatry team has years of experience providing ingrown toenail treatment to patients of all ages. We have the skill and the necessary equipment to deal with this matter in the most effective way, relieving you from the discomfort you are experiencing.
In some cases, the removal of the ingrown portion of the toenail is relatively painless and immediate relief is often experienced. Sometimes, however, due to the local inflammation, pain can still be present for 6-12 hours after. We’ve seen first-hand what can happen when this seemingly minor issue is neglected – unfortunately, more often than not, it only results in a much greater problem that is more painful and more difficult to treat.
We here at SCSP invite you to turn to us as soon as you notice an infected toenail so that we can administer proper treatment right away.
