Ingrown Toenail Treatment
« Back to Glossary Index
Ingrown toenail treatment is a specific type of service offered in nail salons or by podiatrists that focuses on the care and treatment of an ingrown toenail. An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge or corner of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and potential infection. The treatment aims to alleviate discomfort, promote healing, and prevent further complications. It typically involves various procedures such as soaking the affected foot, gently lifting the nail, trimming or removing the ingrown portion, applying antiseptic or antibiotic ointments, and providing appropriate advice for proper foot care.
