An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, swelling, redness, and sometimes infection. It most commonly affects the big toe and can result from improper nail trimming, tight footwear, injury, or genetic predisposition.
At Leelawanti Skin & Laser Institute, we offer expert diagnosis and advanced treatments to relieve discomfort and prevent complications. Mild cases can be managed with proper nail care, soaking, and antibiotic creams. However, severe or recurrent ingrown toenails may require professional intervention, including partial nail removal or laser treatment to prevent regrowth.
