Ingrown Toenail Surgery
Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, redness, and sometimes infection. They commonly affect the big toe and can result from improper nail trimming, tight footwear, or repeated trauma. When conservative treatments fail, surgical removal of the ingrown toenail offers a permanent solution. At SkinMD Clinic, our surgical approach is safe, precise, and minimizes recurrence, helping you walk pain-free again.
What Causes Ingrown Toenails?
Ingrown toenails can develop for various reasons and are often aggravated by:
-
Improper Nail Trimming: Cutting nails too short or rounding the edges.
-
Tight or Ill-Fitting Shoes: Constant pressure on the toes can push the nail into the skin.
-
Genetics: Some people naturally have curved or thick toenails.
-
Toe Injuries: Trauma can change nail growth direction.
-
Poor Foot Hygiene: Moisture and bacterial buildup increase the risk of infection.
-
Repetitive Stress: Activities like running, dancing, or sports may worsen the condition.
Why Consider Professional Ingrown Toenail Surgery?
1) Permanent Relief:
Surgical removal of part or all of the affected nail prevents it from growing inward again, offering long-term comfort.
2) Infection Control:
Surgery eliminates the source of chronic infection and inflammation, especially in severe or recurrent cases.
