What is an Ingrown Toenail?

An ingrown toenail occurs when the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. This condition most commonly affects the big toe but can also impact other toes.

Causes of Ingrown Toenails

Several factors contribute to ingrown toenails, including:

• Improper nail trimming

• Tight-fitting shoes or socks

• Genetics

• Injury to the nail

• Fungal infections

When is Toe Surgery for Ingrown Toenail Necessary?

Mild cases of ingrown toenails can often be managed with conservative treatments, such as proper trimming techniques and anti-inflammatory measures. However, if your condition is severe, causing chronic pain or infection, toe surgery for ingrown toenail may be the best option.

Our Nail Surgery Procedure

At FootHouse, we offer a straightforward and effective procedure for toe surgery for ingrown toenail issues. Our process includes:

1. Consultation & Assessment – A podiatrist evaluates your toenail condition and medical history.

2. Local Anesthesia – To ensure a pain-free procedure, we administer a local anesthetic to numb the toe.

3. Partial or Total Nail Removal – Depending on the severity, either part or the entire nail is removed to prevent regrowth into the skin.

4. Antiseptic Treatment & Dressing – We treat the affected area to prevent infection and apply a protective dressing.

5. Post-Surgery Care & Recovery – Our podiatrists provide guidance on aftercare to ensure a smooth recovery and prevent future occurrences.
