Ingrown Toenails Treatment

Ingrown Toenails Treatment in Mumbai

Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and sometimes infection. Our treatment approach includes proper diagnosis, pain management, and specialized care to resolve the condition and prevent recurrence.

Common Causes of Ingrown Toenails:

  • Improper Nail Trimming: Cutting nails too short or rounding the edges can encourage ingrowth
  • Tight Footwear: Shoes that compress the toes can force the nail into the skin
  • Trauma: Injury to the toe or nail can alter growth patterns
  • Genetics: Some people naturally have curved or thick nails that are more prone to ingrowth
  • Poor Foot Hygiene: Lack of proper care can lead to conditions that promote ingrowth
