Ingrown Toenails

Relief for Ingrown Toenails

Advanced Care for Nail Pain and Infection

Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, redness, and sometimes infection. This condition most commonly affects the big toe and can result from improper nail trimming, tight-fitting shoes, injury, or inherited nail shape. Left untreated, ingrown toenails can worsen over time and make walking or wearing shoes very uncomfortable.

At Chapel Hill Foot & Ankle Specialists, we carefully evaluate the severity of your ingrown toenail to determine the best treatment approach. Conservative care may include proper nail trimming, soaking, and protective padding. For more persistent or painful cases, we offer in-office procedures to remove the ingrown portion of the nail and, if necessary, prevent recurrence by treating the nail root. We also provide treatment for infections to ensure safe and effective healing.

Our goal is to quickly relieve your pain, stop infection, and restore healthy nail growth so you can return to normal activities without discomfort. From simple care to advanced procedures, we are committed to helping you achieve long-lasting relief and healthier feet.
