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.
