Ingrown toenails are a common and painful foot condition that occurs when the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin. This can cause pain, swelling, redness, and infection if left untreated.
At Foot Works Podiatry in Bangor, we provide professional ingrown toenail treatment to relieve pain and prevent further complications.
Our experienced podiatrists can safely treat the problem and help restore comfort so you can walk without pain.
What Is an Ingrown Toenail?
An ingrown toenail develops when the side of the nail grows into the surrounding skin instead of growing straight out.
This often leads to:
tenderness around the nail
redness and swelling
pain when walking or wearing shoes
possible infection if untreated
Ingrown toenails most commonly affect the big toe, but they can occur on other toes as well.
Early treatment can prevent the condition from worsening.
What Causes Ingrown Toenails?
Ingrown toenails can develop for several reasons, including:
cutting toenails too short
trimming the nail edges too deeply
tight or narrow footwear
nail injuries
naturally curved nails
poor foot care
Understanding the cause helps prevent the problem from returning.
