Ingrown and Injured Toenail Treatment
Nail problems are one of the most common causes of foot pain and discomfort. Ingrown toenails and injured toenails can interfere with daily activities and, if left untreated, may lead to infection, ongoing pain, or more serious complications. This is especially true for patients with diabetes, poor circulation, or nerve conditions.

Understanding Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin instead of straight outward. This condition most often affects the big toe and can cause pain, swelling, redness, and infection.
Common causes of ingrown toenails include:
Improper nail trimming, especially cutting nails too short or at an angle
Tight or ill fitting footwear that presses the toes together
Toe injuries such as stubbing or repeated pressure
Genetics, including naturally curved or thick toenails
Symptoms of an ingrown toenail may include:
Pain or tenderness along the side of the nail
Swelling and redness around the toenail
Drainage, pus, or odor when infection is present
Ingrown and injured toenails do not have to limit your comfort or mobility. Southwest Foot Care & Associates makes it easy to receive professional foot care at home, especially for patients with limited mobility or chronic conditions.
