Ingrown Toenail Treatment in Fayetteville, GA
Expert Care from Our Fayetteville Podiatrists
Ingrown toenails are a common yet painful condition where the edge of the nail grows into the skin, often causing redness, swelling, and discomfort. Left untreated, they can worsen and lead to serious infections. At our podiatry office in Fayetteville, GA, our team of experienced foot and ankle specialists provides expert care for both acute and chronic cases of ingrown toenails.
We offer a range of treatment options tailored to your needs, whether it’s your first ingrown nail or part of an ongoing issue.
What Is an Ingrown Toenail?
An ingrown toenail (onychocryptosis) occurs when the side or corner of a toenail grows into the soft flesh surrounding it. This most often affects the big toe, but any toe can be impacted. The condition can cause tenderness, swelling, pain when pressure is applied, and in more severe cases, pus or drainage.
Ingrown toenails can affect anyone, but they are especially common in adolescents, athletes, and individuals with curved or thick toenails.
Common Causes of Ingrown Toenails
There are several everyday habits and risk factors that contribute to the development of ingrown toenails:
- Improper nail trimming: Cutting toenails too short or rounding the edges can encourage the nail to grow into the skin.
- Tight or ill-fitting shoes: Pressure from snug footwear can push the nail into the skin over time.
- Injury or repeated trauma: Stubbing your toe or engaging in activities that stress the toes (like running or dancing) can lead to nail deformities.
- Genetics: Some people naturally have more curved nails that are prone to becoming ingrown.
- Poor foot hygiene: Moist environments can soften the skin and make it easier for nails to pierce through.
Identifying the underlying cause is key to treating and managing this condition effectively.
Signs You Should See a Podiatrist
While mild cases of ingrown toenails may resolve with home care, certain symptoms indicate the need for professional evaluation:
- Persistent or worsening pain around the nail
- Redness and swelling that doesn’t improve
- Visible pus, drainage, or warmth in the area
- Recurring ingrown nails, especially on the same toe
- Medical conditions like diabetes, neuropathy, or poor circulation
If any of these apply, don’t delay treatment. Our Fayetteville podiatry team can quickly assess your condition and recommend safe, effective care to relieve your symptoms and prevent complications.
