Ingrown Toe Nails
When the nail pierces the skin it can be very painful and become infected if not treated promptly.
Most common causes- incorrect cutting leaving a spicule of nail to pierce the skin.
- incorrectly fitted/unsuitable footwear
- trauma- stubbing of toe, object falling on toe.
At Hyde Park Podiatry we can help alleviate the pain in most cases by simply cutting back the nail where appropriate.
We’ll educate you on correct cutting and ongoing management methods. In more persistent or advanced cases surgery may be advised.
This is performed in the clinic under sterile conditions by our experienced podiatrist under local anaesthetic. Your podiatrist will discuss with you in more detail what is involved.
