Ingrown & Fungal Nails
Learn how we address ingrown and fungal nail issues. Our treatments promote nail health and restore the aesthetics of your nails, so you can feel confident in your appearance.
North Shore Foot & Ankle is a specialized medical facility focused on the diagnosis and treatment of various foot and ankle conditions. When it comes to issues like fungal toenails and ingrown toenails, our state-of-the-art facility plays a crucial role in providing expert care. For fungal toenails, we employ a comprehensive approach that may include prescribing anti-fungal medications, topical treatments, or, in more severe cases, removal of the full nail. Additionally, we offer valuable guidance on preventive measures and proper foot hygiene to minimize the risk of recurrence.
North Shore Foot & Ankle expertise extends to ingrown toenails, a painful condition where the toenail grows into the surrounding skin. In the office, we can skillfully address ingrown toenails by performing pain-free procedures such as nail trimming, lifting the ingrown edge, or, if necessary, safely removing a portion of the nail to promote proper growth and alleviate discomfort.
Matrixectomy can also be done to prevent issues with ingrown toenails in the future. Patient education on proper nail care and footwear choices is also a crucial aspect of their holistic approach to ensuring long-term foot health.
