Murrieta Ingrown Toenail

When it comes to foot health it helps to pay attention to the way that your feet feel on a regular basis, as well as how they look. Conditions that can affect your toenails can be particularly uncomfortable and sometimes painful, which can happen with ingrown nails. If you need treatment for a Murrieta ingrown toenail, then we here at Temecula Valley Podiatry.

Sometimes, you may be able to spot an ingrown toenail during its early stages when the nail of the toe begins to grow in an irregular shape. Ingrown nails tend to grow into the skin instead of resting flat and growing outward. As ingrown nails progress and become more severe, they may become painful ones they pierce the skin, making the area around it read, tender, and generally inflamed. In some cases, individuals may not realize that they have an ingrown nail until these symptoms occur, making it uncomfortable to walk or wear closed-toe shoes. You may be able to rectify an ingrown nail on your own, but this can be dangerous and you may actually do more harm than good. If this is your first ingrown nail, then it is always best to see a podiatrist you can provide you with the information you need as well as with the treatment required to fix the nail and allow it to heal properly. Here at Temecula Valley Podiatry we can treat a variety of different nail related issues, whether it be Murrieta ingrown toenails or nail fungus.

If ingrown nails or nail fungus is left untreated, then the issue may become more severe and spread throughout the entire toe. In the case of ingrown nails, the nail itself may become so warped that it may be difficult to fix the nail and improve your health. Because the nail is piercing the skin, you may also suffer from infection, so it's important to have this condition treated as soon as you can.
