5 Signs Your Ingrown Toenail May Need Surgery

Ingrown toenails can be more than just a nuisance — here’s when to see a podiatrist:

1️⃣ Recurring Ingrowns – It keeps coming back, no matter how often you trim.
2️⃣ Severe Pain – Walking or wearing shoes is unbearable.
3️⃣ Infection – Redness, swelling, pus, or spreading pain.
4️⃣ Skin Overgrowth – The skin has started to grow over the nail edge.
5️⃣ Impacts Daily Life – You avoid activities or footwear because of the pain.

Good news: Minor in-clinic procedures can provide lasting relief and stop ingrowns from returning.

What Actually Causes an Ingrown Toenail? (It’s Not What You May Think!)
Most people think it’s always from cutting your nails too short… but that’s only part of the story!

Here’s what’s really going on:
▪ Nail Shape & Genetics – Some nails naturally curve in more, making them prone to digging into the skin.
▪ Tight or Poorly Fitting Shoes – Pressure pushes the nail edge into your toe.
▪ Trauma or Injury – Even stubbing your toe can change how the nail grows.
▪ Improper Nail Cutting – Cutting nails too short or rounding the edges increases the risk.

Podiatrist Tip: Trim nails straight across, wear roomy shoes, and don’t ignore early signs (redness, swelling, tenderness). If you keep getting ingrowns, it’s worth seeing a podiatrist — there are simple, effective treatments to fix them for good!

Did you know? Osteoporosis can occur in the bones in your feet. Osteoporosis causes a loss of bone density, making bones more porous and increasing the risk of fractures and foot pain.

Ride2Work Day meets National Podiatry Week!

🦶 Your feet do all the pedalling, so let’s give them some love!

Here are 3 common cycling foot issues:
1️⃣ Hot foot (burning or numb toes) – Often settles with improved shoe fit, arch support and better pressure distribution.
2️⃣Cramping or shin/calf pain – Frequently improves with small refinements to cleat position.
3️⃣ Cleat fit & alignment – Nailing alignment early supports comfort and power as the kilometres add up.

If you’ve noticed any of these, it might be time to get your feet assessed by a podiatrist. Healthy feet = smoother rides + fewer niggles! Pro tip: The right footwear & support can make all the difference to your comfort on and off the bike. Do you know podiatrists can make orthotics to fit specifically into bike shoes? This National Podiatry Week, give your feet the professional check- up they deserve.

Balance Awareness Week 14-20 September 2025 - Better Balance starts from the ground up and Podiatry plays a role in keeping you steady on your feet!

Your feet are the foundation of your balance. If they’re sore, unstable, or not supported properly, your risk of trips and falls increases.

5 Tips for better balance:
1. Wear supportive, well-fitted shoes
2. Try simple balance exercises (like standing on one foot while brushing your teeth or while you are cooking!)
3. Get your feet checked regularly – conditions like bunions, nerve issues, or poor circulation can throw your balance off
4. Custom orthotics can help improve stability and confidence in every step
5. Regular exercise is so important to keep you on your feet and keep your muscles strong and steady.

Remember: Strong, healthy feet = better balance = fewer falls. Book your foot health check – a steady step is a safe step!
