Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown toenails more commonly occur with the big toe, where the side of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to redness and intense throbbing pain. This condition can result in a severe infection that might even spread to the bone. Your podiatrist can suggest home remedies or in-office treatments to lift and separate the nail from the skin’s edge, allowing it to grow properly or, in some cases, partially removing the nail. Ingrown toenails can become a recurring issue.

If you have diabetes, there’s a risk of complications, making proper foot care crucial to prevent ingrown toenails.
