We understand the discomfort and frustration that comes with ingrown toenails. Our podiatrists are highly skilled in both conservative and surgical management techniques, ensuring you receive the best possible care for your condition.
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, and sometimes infection. Common causes include improper nail trimming, tight shoes, and trauma to the toe.

If caught early, ingrown toenails can often be managed conservatively. Our podiatrists will carefully trim the offending nail edge and may recommend:
In cases where conservative management isn’t effective or if the ingrown toenail is severe, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our podiatrists are highly skilled in performing nail surgery, which involves removing part or all of the affected nail. This is done under local anaesthesia, and the procedure is quick and relatively painless.
After surgery, our podiatrists will provide you with detailed instructions on caring for your toe and preventing future ingrown toenails. They may also recommend wearing special shoes or orthotics to reduce the risk of recurrence.
