An ingrown toenail (Onychocryptosis) occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the skin surrounding the nail bed, causing discomfort, inflammation, and sometimes infection. Left untreated, it can become severely painful and lead to further complications.
At Flawless Feet Podiatry & Laser Clinic, our skilled podiatrists offer professional ingrown toenail treatment that is both effective and minimally invasive.
Not all ingrown toenails are the same. Understanding the type helps determine the best course of treatment.
This form involves the nail actually piercing the skin, often causing immediate pain, redness, swelling, or pus. It's frequently seen in teenagers and young adults, but can also result from sports injuries or incorrect nail trimming.
Over time, the shape of the nail changes, often thickening and curving inward. Even light contact with socks or shoes can trigger pain. Chronic cases are more prevalent in individuals over age 40, particularly those with underlying foot structure changes or repeated trauma.
At Flawless Feet, we accurately diagnose and treat both types with targeted solutions that prioritise comfort and long-term healing.
Understanding the root cause can prevent recurrence. Here are the most frequent contributors:
Whatever the reason, our podiatrists work to resolve both the pain and the cause, ensuring a better long-term outcome.
Every treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine severity, root cause, and history. Our approach is both patient-centric and evidence-based, ensuring you receive the most effective, least invasive solution first.
This approach is ideal for first-time occurrences or mild-moderate cases. It often results in immediate relief and helps you avoid surgery if the condition hasn’t become chronic.
When ingrown toenails become recurrent or chronic, we recommend minor nail surgery for a permanent fix. This quick outpatient procedure is done under local anaesthetic and takes less than an hour.
In rare cases where nail regrowth occurs (around 5%), self-funding patients are covered by the Flawless Feet Nail Surgery Guarantee—we will perform a second procedure at no additional cost, provided no clinical contraindications arise.
