Ingrowing Nails

Some people are prone to ingrown nails because of the inherent shape of the nail

There are repeated episodes of pain, inflammation, and infection. However, nails can also become ingrown due to trauma caused by shoes, a sports injury or badly cut toenails. In most cases we can resolve the condition with conservative treatment, skilfully removing the spicule of nail which has penetrated the skin and providing follow up care to allow you to return to normal activity. If left untreated they can adversely impact on your daily activities and wellbeing. Where the problem is persistent, nail surgery may be the most appropriate treatment.
