Ingrown Toenail Treatment

Expert Treatment for Ingrown Toenails

An ingrown toenail occurs when the side of the nail cuts and continues to grow into the surrounding skin in the area. This can become very painful and inflamed and if left untreated, can result in infection or an affected gait. If you have developed an ingrown toenail, Active Feet are here to help with the leading ingrowing toenail treatment in Edinburgh. The majority of the time it is the big toe that is affected however any toe can become ingrown and cause problems.

There are several reasons that you can develop an ingrowing toenail including poor nail cutting, badly fitted footwear, poor foot hygiene, and it can even be down to an inherited nail shape that is prone to this condition. Symptoms commonly include swelling, pain, redness, and heat but can develop into bleeding, further swelling, pus, and an infection if not treated. In severe cases, the infection can spread to the bone.

When seeking ingrowing toenail treatment in Edinburgh, our podiatrists will outline the most suitable option for treatment, whether that is a prescribed course of antibiotics, bathing in saline solution, removal of a small section of the nail, or removal of the entire nail. In the event of opting for entire nail removal for your ingrown toe treatment, the operation will be performed under local anaesthetic and your podiatrist will prevent the nail from growing back. This is because the toenail typically grows back in a worst state than the one that has been removed.

Following toenail removal surgery, we will have three further consultations to ensure that you are getting the best care after toenail removal, so you are back up and running as fast as possible.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great treatment of a minor but annoying issue. Correctly diagnosed it as it wasn't what I thought it was, treated on a single visit when I thought at least one additional visit would be required, easy to get an appointment, staff all very helpful, treatment by Cameron friendly & professional. Affordable price at least for me and good value as it will make all my walking, running & hiking easier.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having got to an age when reaching my toenails to cut them is quite difficult, I decided to use the services of a podiatrist. I have been very pleased with the treatment I received at Active Feet where Jordan doesn't just cut nails but offers sound advice about keeping feet healthy generally. I'd certainly recommend them.
