COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT INGROWN TOENAILS

How do I know if I have ingrown toenails?

More than three million people in the United States suffer from ingrown toenails, a condition in which the corner or side of a toenail grows into the flesh. Ingrown toenails usually affect the big toe and people with diabetes are at greater risk of complications.

Are ingrown toenails a health concern?

Yes, if they are affecting your comfort. Ingrown toenails can be very painful and are often not aesthetically pleasing. Being comfortable on your feet is incredibly important to your overall health because they allow you to be mobile and get exercise. The more uncomfortable you are on your feet, the lower your quality of life.

What are the current treatment options?
