Ingrown Toenails in Dallas, Richardson and Garland, TX
No one is immune to ingrown toenails; both men and women are at risk. Some people have a hereditary tendency to form ingrown toenails, but they can also occur from wearing shoes that don’t fit properly or cutting the toenail too short.
Are your feet hiding in your shoes because you are embarrassed about an ingrown toenail? The redness and pain that come with an ingrown toenail shouldn’t keep you from putting on your favorite peep-toe shoes or sandals. Metroplex Foot & Ankle offers a relatively painless ingrown toenail treatment to get rid of unsightly ingrown toenails, allowing your feet to live freely.
When an ingrown toenail occurs, the edges of the nail plate penetrate into the soft tissue of the toe. It begins with a painful irritation, and can often become infected. With a bacterial invasion, the nail margin becomes red, swollen and often produces drainage or pus. Though they are often relatively minor, ingrown toenails can quickly become severe in people with diabetes or poor blood circulation, potentially leading to gangrene of the toe. Patients who have joint replacements or pace makers are at an increased risk of an infection spreading throughout the blood stream and should seek immediate medical attention and ingrown toenail treatment at the first sign of an ingrown toenail.
