What Is an Ingrown Toenail?
Ingrown toenails are a common condition among people of all ages where the corner or the side of your toenail grows into the soft flesh of your toe. The condition can be severely painful, making many people not want to put pressure on the affected toe at all. Without professional treatment, it can even result in infection. No matter how severe your situation may be, Dr. Glesinger can provide Tucson ingrown toenail treatment that helps you get the pain relief you deserve and avoid potential infection.
Some of the most common causes of ingrown toenails include:
- Footwear: For many patients, the cause of their ingrown toenails can be traced back to their footwear. If you wear shoes that are either too small or too tight, it can compress your toes and result in abnormal nail development.
- Excessive Nail Trimming: One of the most common causes of ingrown nails among patients from all walks of life is excessive nail trimming. When you don't allow your nails to grow uninterrupted and trim them either too short or too rounded, it can cause ingrown nail development.
- Injuries: Although many of us take it for granted, nail development is a complex process that takes time. If, however, you experience an injury to your toe, it can alter the growth of your nail and lead to an ingrown toenail.
Our Approach to Ingrown Toenail Treatment
At the practice of April Ross Glesinger DPM, we take the time to create personalized treatment plans for each of our patients. When you initially visit our office, Dr. Glesinger will conduct an examination of your affected toenail. She may also ask you various questions about your lifestyle or previous history of ingrown toenails. For example, if you've already had ingrown toenails before, there's a good chance that you can get them again. Another example would be if you participate in recreational sports, like running, as the need for tight-fitting shoes can lead to nail problems.
Once our podiatrist has a better idea of your unique situation, she may recommend various treatment options, including partial ingrown toenail removal. By numbing your toe and trimming some of the ingrown portions of your nail, the treatment can help your toenail grow back normally. We'll also work with you to identify and address behaviors that may have caused your ingrown toenail.
