Ingrown toenails are very common in pediatric and adult patients. An ingrown nail occurs when the corner of a nail grows into the skin, causing pain, redness, and often even infection in the surrounding skin. Ingrown toenails should be treated in the office of your foot doctor in NYC to avoid further complications. If this is a chronic recurring issue, your foot doctor in NYC has a number of treatment options to prevent your ingrown nail from returning permanently.
All symptoms, potential procedural/surgical options should always be discussed with your podiatrist after a thorough consultation and examination for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
