The Importance of Seeking Treatment for Ingrown Toenail

If you suspect an ingrown toenail, seeking professional treatment is crucial. Attempting to manage it on your own is not recommended, as foot wounds are susceptible to serious infections, particularly in individuals with poor blood circulation, as seen in diabetes patients. Left untreated, ingrown toenails can lead to severe infections that may spread to the bones, resulting in a complex medical issue. For this reason, Dr. Abdelmalak and our podiatry team strongly urge you to come in for an evaluation if you experience any of the following symptoms:

Redness around the affected area
Tenderness or pain
Inflammation of the toe
Oozing or pus

These could be early indicators of an ingrown toenail infection that requires immediate medical attention

Understanding the Causes of Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown toenails develop gradually as the nail grows into the soft flesh surrounding the nail bed. While the big toe is the most common site, any toenail can be affected on one or both sides. Several factors can increase the risk of ingrown toenails, including:

Trimming toenails too short
Rounding out the toenail edges
Wearing tight-fitting socks or shoes
Having unusually curved toenails, known as pincer nails
Having a history of fungal infections, such as fungal nails, which can elevate the risk of ingrown toenails

Schedule a Consultation

Nail lifting with a splint to help the nail grow properly
