The top 10 ways to manage Ingrown Toenails

• If your toes are inflamed, soak them in salty
  water 3-4 times a day. This will reduce the
  swelling and reduces the tenderness in your feet.
• Raise the toenail by putting cotton wool, or
  dental floss under the toenail. This will raise
  the nail, decreasing the chances of the nail to
  grow over the edge of the skin.
• Cut your toenails flat. Do not cut the nails in a
  curve, to follow the shape of the toe. This also
  applies if you go to a salon. If you have a
  condition with poor blood flow (like diabetes),
  ask a Podiatrist, to help with cutting your nails.

• Keep the nails at medium length If your nails
  are too short, the shoes you wear may force the
  nails to grow into the toenail tissue causing
  them to get inflamed.
• Make sure your shoes fit well. Tight shoes, or
  shoes that pinch, put extra pressure on the nail,
  and can damage the feet. If you have any form of
  nerve damage in your feet, you may not notice
  that the shoes are fitting correctly. Take care,
  and get the right advice from the shoe store, to
  get the best for your feet. There are specialist
  stores with experience in fitting shoes for
  people with foot problems.
• Wear protective shoes If you are in a position
  where your feet may be injured, protective shoes
  or footwear, can help manage any damage to your
  toes.

1. Check your feet If you are a diabetic, or you
   have any other issues, it is recommended that you
   check your feet daily for ingrown toenails (as
   well as other foot problems)
2. If you have open wounds, it is recommended that
   you keep them clean, and keep them open to help
   the wounds heal. It is strongly recommended that
   you visit us, or your local podiatrist, to make
   sure that the correct dressing is applied.
3. Do not cut your nails if you have ingrown
   toenails. We offer guidance and training, for you
   to cut your nails properly so that the condition
   is not made worse.
4. Do not peel or bite your nails. This increases
   the chance of your condition getting worse.

Solutions for In-grown toe nails

• It is possible for us to trim the nails, to
  remove the pressure on the toes, and done on a
  regular basis, this is a great solution for some
  people who do not need surgery. This can prevent
  or delay the need for surgery.
• We can do nail surgery, where we can remove part
  of the nail so that when you wear slippers or
  sandals, it still looks natural. This way, your
  ingrown toenails do not impact your life. This
  could be a permanent solution for a happier you.
