Help for Ingrown Toenail -Nicholas Crismali, DPM - Podiatrist in Victorville, Apple Valley and Hesperia, CA



Ingrown Toenail - Podiatrist in Victorville, Apple Valley and Hesperia, CA - Nicholas Crismali, DPM

Dr. Nicholas Crismali of Crismali Foot & Ankle discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Ingrown Toenail.



  
Ingrown nails are nails whose corners or sides dig painfully into the skin, often causing infection. They are frequently caused by improper nail trimming, but also by shoe pressure, injury, fungus infection, heredity, and poor foot structure.

Toenails should be trimmed straight across, slightly longer than the end of the toe, with toenail clippers.

If they become painful or infected, contact our office. We may remove the ingrown portion of the nail, and if the condition reoccurs frequently, we may permanently remove the nail.
