Ingrown toenails are quite common in all age groups. It is a result of a nail growing into the skin that surrounds it. Ingrown nails are frequently hereditary. Ingrown Nails can also occur from improper trimming of the nails, tight shoes, or injury to the nail. Ingrown nails are a pesky problem that can affect all age groups.


If they become inflamed, you should make an appointment to have them treated fast.


The longer you wait for treatment, the more likely it is that they will become infected. Treatment is simple and painless in most situations.


You can resume normal daily activities within a day. At Foothills Foot Care Center, our most common procedure is a permanent procedure which typically removes only a small portion at the side of the nail. We freeze your skin prior to injection to minimize discomfort. Because these problems need fast treatment, call us now and we will try to schedule you today.
