Ingrown Toenail
Our Foot Doctors Can Help with Your Ingrown Toenail Treatment
An ingrown toenail occurs when a corner of the nail grows into the flesh of the toe, causing redness and swelling, followed by pain and often infection. Ingrown toenails can occur due to improper trimming of the toenail, trauma or genetic factors.
TREATMENT: Treatment for ingrown toenails is performed by gently numbing the toe, and then removing the offending corner of the nail. If you have chronic ingrown toenails, we can remove the root in the office to permanently prevent re-growth of the ingrown portion of the nail. Your treatment will be gentle and virtually painless, and our Podiatry team will get you back to your normal activities right away.
If you have an ingrown toenail, please contact Family Foot Centers.
Toenail Fungus
Do crumbly, thickened toenails have you hiding your feet?
Some of the symptoms of toenail fungus (onychomycosis) are thick, yellow, discolored toenails. Fungal toenails are caused by an organism that grows in and under the toenail. The fungus likes to grow in warm, moist places like your shoes. Many patients pick up fungal toenail infections in the gym locker room, from a nail salon, wet shoes or from trauma. Fungus can stay in the nails for many years and can be passed from one person to another.
TREATMENT: Fungal toenails treatment may include topical and oral medications, which used together are very effective. If you're tired of looking at those fungal toenails, get in touch with Family Foot Center for a comprehensive evaluation.
