Ingrown Toenails
An onychocryptosis (ingrown toenail) occurs when the nail curves into the surrounding periungual skin, leading to pain, erythema, and edema. If left untreated, it can result in paronychia. At Center for Foot Care, our expert podiatrist is skilled in diagnosing and treating ingrown toenails.

Causes and Symptoms
Ingrown toenails can be caused by improper nail trimming, tight-fitting shoes, or genetic factors. Common symptoms include pain, tenderness, swelling, and drainage of purulence.

Treatment Options
Dr. Titko will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the best course of treatment for your ingrown toenail. Treatment options may include conservative measures, such as warm soaks, wearing proper footwear, or in some cases, a minor surgical procedure such as partial nail avulsion to remove the ingrown portion of the nail.

Fungal Nail Infections
Onychomycosis (fungal nail infections) are caused by the overgrowth of fungi in the nails. They can lead to onychauxis (thickened), discolored, and brittle nails. At Center for Foot Care, we offer effective treatment options for fungal nail infections.

Causes and Symptoms
Fungal nail infections can be caused by exposure to warm and moist environments, such as public swimming pools or communal showers. Symptoms include thickened nails, onycholysis (nail separation), yellow or white discoloration, and onychorrhexis (brittle nails).

Treatment Options
Dr. Titko will evaluate the severity of your fungal nail infection and recommend appropriate treatment options. These may include topical antifungal medications, oral medications, or photodynamic therapy to eliminate the fungal infection.
