Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. This condition most commonly affects the big toe and may develop from improper trimming, tight shoes, injury, or inherited nail shape.
At Knoxville Footcare, we offer fast, effective treatment for ingrown toenails with a focus on relieving discomfort and preventing recurrence.
What We Offer
- In-office nail removal (partial or full) for painful or infected nails
- Antibiotic therapy when infection is present
- Permanent correction (matrixectomy) to prevent the nail edge from growing back
- Guidance on proper nail care and footwear to reduce pressure on the toes
- Safe trimming for high-risk patients such as those with diabetes or poor circulation
When to Schedule a Visit
You should see a podiatrist promptly if you experience:
- Persistent or worsening pain near the edge of the toenail
- Swelling, redness, or drainage around the nail
- Signs of infection, including pus or warmth in the toe
- Repeated ingrown toenails or difficulty trimming your own nails
- Underlying conditions like diabetes that increase your risk of complications
