Ingrown toenails
An ingrown toenail can become painful quickly when the nail edge presses into the surrounding skin. Early care often settles irritation; recurrent cases may benefit from a minor procedure.
What we look at
A thorough, practical assessment
- How long the nail has been painful or inflamed
- Previous infections, swelling or nail surgery
- Footwear pressure, nail shape and skin condition
- Whether conservative care is still likely to help
How we can help
A plan that fits your circumstances
- Reducing pressure and treating the nail conservatively where suitable
- Advice on footwear and nail care between visits
- Discussion of minor nail surgery if the problem keeps returning
- Clear aftercare so you know what to expect
