Ingrown Toenail Treatment in Hamilton
Painful, swollen, or infected toenail?
Let’s fix it properly.
What is an Ingrown Toenail?
An ingrown toenail happens when the edge of your nail grows into the surrounding skin. It can cause redness, swelling, and pain — and if left untreated, it can lead to infection.
Our podiatrists see ingrown toenails every week and have the tools and experience to treat them safely, relieve pain, and help prevent future issues.
Common Signs of an Ingrown Toenail
Pain or tenderness along the side of the nail
Swelling and redness around the nail
Skin growing over the nail edge
Discharge or signs of infection
If you’re noticing any of these, it’s best to book an appointment before it worsens.
How We Treat Ingrown Toenails
Step 1: Professional Assessment
We examine the nail and surrounding area to understand the severity and whether there is any infection.
Step 2: Safe and Effective Treatment
Treatment options include:
Gentle trimming and clearing of the nail edge
Advice on footwear and nail care to prevent recurrence
