Ingrown Toenail Treatment

Ingrown toenails can be painful and frustrating, affecting your ability to walk comfortably. At Skinfudge, we provide professional, effective treatments to relieve pain and prevent future occurrences. Our expert team ensures safe, hygienic, and lasting solutions for ingrown toenails.

What is an Ingrown Toenail?

An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to redness, swelling, and pain. If left untreated, it can result in infections or more severe complications.

Causes of Ingrown Toenails

• Improper nail trimming (cutting too short or rounding the edges)

• Tight-fitting shoes or high heels

• Injury to the toenail

• Genetic predisposition

• Fungal infections causing thickened nails

Symptoms of an Ingrown Toenail

• Pain and tenderness around the nail

• Swelling and redness

• Pus or drainage (in cases of infection)

• Difficulty walking comfortably

Ingrown Toenail Treatment Options at Skinfudge

We offer a range of treatment options depending on the severity of your ingrown toenail:

1. Conservative Treatment (Non-Surgical)

For mild cases, we provide:

• Professional toenail trimming to prevent further ingrowth

• Antiseptic and antibiotic solutions to reduce infection risk

• Protective padding and footwear guidance

2. Partial Nail Removal (Phenolization Procedure)

For recurring or moderate ingrown toenails, we offer a partial nail avulsion procedure where the affected nail portion is safely removed. To prevent regrowth, a mild chemical (phenol) is applied to the nail matrix.

3. Complete Nail Removal (Severe Cases)

If the condition is severe or recurrent, complete nail removal might be necessary. This procedure is done under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort.

4. Infection Management

If an infection is present, we provide:

• Prescription oral or topical antibiotics

• Debridement and drainage if necessary

• Post-treatment care for fast healing
