Ingrown Toenails
- Pain along the side of the toenail
- Redness and swelling around the nail edge
- Drainage if infected
- Recurring episodes despite home care
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail occurs when the nail edge grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, inflammation, and potentially infection. The big toe is most commonly affected.
Permanent In-Office Correction
For recurring ingrown toenails, we offer partial nail avulsion with phenol matrixectomy, a simple in-office procedure that permanently removes the offending nail edge. Success rates exceed 95%, recovery is minimal, and most patients return to normal footwear within days.
