Whether it’s your first time dealing with one or you’ve had them before, this clinic offers gentle, expert care that gets you back on your feet without delay.
What Causes Ingrown Toenails?
An ingrown toenail happens when the edge of the nail grows into the skin, usually on the big toe. It can start out as a little soreness but quickly turn red, swollen, and painful. In some cases, it may become infected. Ingrown toenails can be caused by shoes that are too tight, trimming nails too short, injury, or even the shape of your foot. Some people are just more likely to get them based on the way their nails grow.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore It
It might be tempting to try to fix an ingrown toenail at home, but that can often make things worse. If the nail keeps digging into the skin or if signs of infection appear — like warmth, pus, or increased pain — it’s time to see a podiatrist. Left untreated, ingrown toenails can lead to serious problems, especially for those with diabetes or poor circulation.
How Peninsula Foot and Ankle Clinic Helps
Dr. Austin Friswold treats ingrown toenails with care and precision. At Peninsula Foot and Ankle Clinic, the goal is to relieve pain and prevent the problem from coming back. Treatment may include lifting the nail, trimming it properly, or in some cases, removing a small part of the nail that’s causing the trouble. For those who struggle with repeat ingrown toenails, Dr. Friswold can offer a more permanent solution that stops that edge of the nail from growing in again. Patients are treated with kindness and clear explanations, so they know exactly what to expect every step of the way.
