All About Our Remarkable Toenails

Ingrown toenails occur when the toenail presses into the skin on the sides of the toe. This injury often becomes infected. An ingrown toenail may be caused by trimming the nails in a curve, rather than straight across. Wearing tight or narrow shoes, or excessive wearing of high heels, can make the problem worse. Watch for reddening, warmth, swelling, and pain around the nail.

Fungal nail is contagious, and the infection can be picked up in public areas such as pools, locker rooms, gyms, and spas. Toenail fungus will cause the nail to yellow, become crumbly or ragged, thicken, and sometimes emit an unpleasant odor.

For these and other toenail problems, a visit to one of our five offices is in order for a professional evaluation and diagnosis and effective treatment. Avoid over–the–counter products for any toenail, foot, or ankle problem – let us help!
