Understanding Removed Ingrown Toenail

An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of a toenail grows into the skin surrounding the nail. This condition can lead to pain, swelling, redness, and even infection if not treated promptly and correctly. Factors such as improper nail trimming, tight footwear, injury, or genetic predisposition can contribute to the development of ingrown toenails.

Symptoms of an Ingrown Toenail

Recognizing the symptoms of an ingrown toenail early can help in seeking timely treatment:

 

• Pain and tenderness along the side of the toenail
• Swelling around the toenail
• Redness or discoloration of the skin next to the toenail
• Pus or drainage indicating infection

Treatment Options for Ingrown Toenails

When conservative measures such as soaking the foot in warm water and wearing properly fitting footwear fail to alleviate symptoms, professional intervention may be necessary. At the Foot and Ankle Center of Arizona, we offer various treatment options tailored to your specific condition:

 

• Partial Nail Avulsion: Surgically removing a portion of the ingrown toenail.
