Ingrown Toenail Q&A
What causes ingrown toenails?
Ingrown toenails can be caused by improper nail trimming, wearing shoes that are too tight, toe injuries, or naturally curved nails. They are common and can become infected if left untreated, leading to increased pain and swelling.
How are ingrown toenails treated?
Treatment ranges from conservative measures like soaking and proper nail care to minor in-office procedures. For recurring or severe cases, Dr. Bingham may perform a partial nail avulsion with matrix phenolization to permanently remove the problematic portion of the nail.
