An ingrown toenail causes throbbing toe pain severe enough to cause you to limp. If it gets infected, the toe swells so that you can’t even wear your shoes. Don’t wait until you need infected ingrown toenail treatment. As soon as you notice an ingrown toenail, visit the top-rated podiatry doctor, Dr. Velimir Petkov at Premier Podiatry in Clifton, NJ and Wayne, NJ. Call today for an appointment. Your toenails provide some protection for your toes, but they’re really an evolutionary holdover. The edges of your nails rest in a groove on top of your toes. If functioning normally, the nails grow steadily outward as new nail material forms in the nail bed. If your nail suffers damage, it may start curling or growing downward, digging into the soft flesh of your toes. Ingrown toenails can be painful. If they’re bad enough, they can affect your gait and require medical attention. If left untreated, ingrown toenails can result in continued pain, inflammation and infection that requires ingrown toenail surgery. Visit award-winning podiatry practice in Clifton, New Jersey & Wayne, NJ to discuss treatment options and prevention tips with your board-certified surgeon, Dr. Velimir Petkov.
