👣 Struggling with a painful toenail? You’re not alone, and you don’t need to suffer.
Do any of these sound familiar?
• Pain or tenderness down one or both sides of your nail
• Redness, swelling, or inflammation around the toenail
• Sharp or stabbing pain when walking or wearing shoes
• Pain even when the bed covers brush against your toe
• Bleeding, infection, or pus
• Feeling miserable from constant discomfort
These are all common signs of an ingrowing toenail, where a splinter of nail pierces the skin and digs into the flesh. It’s extremely painful, and in more severe cases, it can become infected.
Even a nail that curls towards the skin (without fully piercing it) can cause intense discomfort and inflammation.
💙 The good news? We treat this every day; safely, gently, and effectively.
Our experienced podiatrists can remove the offending nail spike, relieve your pain, manage any infection, and advise whether a minor procedure is needed to stop it coming back.
✨ Winter is the perfect time to get it sorted, your toe will be healed and ready long before summer sandals return.
