Ingrown Toenails
Welcome to the Center for Foot Care, Cincinnati’s premier destination for onychocryptosis (ingrown toenails) treatment. Dr. Titko is dedicated to providing the highest quality care to help you get rid of your ingrown toenail and find relief from pain and discomfort.
What are Ingrown Toenails?
Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding periungual skin, causing pain, erythema, and edema. Ingrown toenails are almost always hereditary in nature but can also be caused by some traumas to the nail or nail matrix area.
Symptoms and Signs
The symptoms of an ingrown toenail include pain, tenderness, redness, and swelling around the affected nail. In some cases, there may be purulence or drainage. It is important to seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening and developing paronychia.
Treatment Options
There are various treatment options available for ingrown toenails, depending on the severity of the condition. Conservative treatments include soaking the affected foot in warm water, proper nail trimming techniques, and using over-the-counter medications. Surgical interventions such as partial nail avulsion, total nail avulsion, or matrixectomy may be recommended in more severe cases.
