Toe Troubles: Understanding and Treating Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown toenails are a common yet painful condition where the edge of the toenail grows into the skin, causing discomfort, redness, and swelling. At Arizona Foot and Ankle Physicians, we see many patients who struggle with recurring ingrown toenails, and while some mild cases can be managed at home, more severe instances require professional care to prevent infection and long-term damage.
Ingrown toenails can develop for several reasons, including improper nail trimming, wearing tight shoes, or even an injury. You may notice pain around your toenail, swelling, and in some cases, pus or drainage, which can signal an infection. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek care promptly to avoid complications. Learn more about common foot conditions that may be contributing to your discomfort.
