Painful Nails

Ingrown Nails

Ingrown nails are nails whose corners or sides dig painfully into the skin, often causing infection. They are frequently caused by improper nail trimming, but also by shoe pressure, injury, fungus infection, heredity, and poor foot structure.

If ingrown nails become painful or infected, contact our office. We may remove the ingrown portion of the nail and if the condition reoccurs frequently, may permanently remove the nail.

Fungal and Problem Nails

Family Foot & Ankle Specialists is proud to offer the Q-Clear Laser for the convenient and effective treatment of problem nails. This quick and painless in-office procedure kills the pathogens under nails that can cause unsightly yellow, ridged or thickened nails.

Nailcare Tips

  • Toenails should be trimmed straight across, slightly longer than the end of the toe, with toenail clippers

  • If nails become painful or infected, contact our office. We may remove the ingrown portion of the nail and if the condition reoccurs frequently, may permanently remove the nail.

The above advice is not meant for self-treatment. See Dr. Baird at the first sign of your feet or ankle problems. Most common foot conditions will only worsen without proper care, and may become serious quickly when left untreated.
