Ingrown Toenails

🩹 What Is an Ingrown Toenail?

An ingrown toenail develops when the nail’s edge grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, swelling, redness, and infection. While most cases affect the big toe, any toenail can become ingrown — often making it uncomfortable to wear shoes or walk.

⚠️ Common Causes

• Cutting toenails too short or rounded

• Wearing tight or narrow footwear

• Previous toenail injury

• Naturally curved or thick nails

• Fungal nail infections or recurring irritation

🔍 Signs You May Need Treatment

• Persistent pain or swelling near the nail edge

• Drainage, redness, or signs of infection

• Thickened or distorted toenail shape

• Difficulty walking or wearing closed shoes

🧭 Diagnosis at Restore Foot & Ankle Specialists

Your visit starts with a comprehensive exam by Dr. Reddy or Dr. Pokala.
If infection or deeper involvement is suspected, we may use ultrasound or X-ray imaging to rule out bone or soft tissue complications before treatment.

💉 Treatment Options

1. Conservative Care

• Warm salt-water soaks

• Topical or oral antibiotics

• Gentle nail lifting and trimming

• Footwear and hygiene guidance

2. In-Office Ingrown Toenail Procedures

For moderate to severe cases, we perform simple in-office procedures under local anesthesia to remove the ingrown nail edge and relieve pressure.
These quick procedures offer:

• Minimal downtime

• Immediate pain relief

• Option to permanently prevent recurrence (matrixectomy)

3. Infection Management

• Targeted antibiotic therapy

• Wound care to promote safe healing
