Struggling With Ingrown Toenails? We Can Help

Here at Chestnut Hill Podiatry Associates in Huntington Valley and Philadelphia, PA, we know how uncomfortable and painful ingrown toenails can feel. That is why we offer non-surgical and surgical options for mild to severe cases. If you're struggling with this issue, read on to learn how we can help, and then call one of our offices to schedule your consultation.

What Causes Ingrown Toenails?

These nail impairments are often the result of:

  • Genetics
  • Toe crowding
  • Trauma to the feet
  • Pressure from footwear
  • Improperly trimmed toenails

What Are the Symptoms?

When one or more ingrown toenails interrupt your daily routine, you'll know. The digging of the nail irritates the skin creating warmth, swelling, and redness. Even if the toenail is relatively pain-free, if a break in the skin occurs, you are at risk for developing a bacterial infection, a development characterized by drainage and foul odor. Accordingly, you should consult with Drs. Shagas, Mosheyev, Scanlon, Dunn, and Ciccantelli, at the first signs of trouble.

What to Expect from Treatment

Our podiatrists will physically examine your foot before deciding if non-surgical or surgical treatment is best suitable for your case. Minimally-invasive solutions include soaking the feet in warm water, keeping toes dry, taking ibuprofen for pain, and wearing comfortable shoes to prevent ingrown toenails from recurring. If you require surgery, a quick and efficient procedure will take place in one of our two Philadelphia, PA, locations. That involves partial or complete removal of the nail.
