Why do ingrown toenails hurt so bad? The edge of your toenail grows into the surrounding skin. Ouch! This can cause redness, swelling, and intense pain. It hurts so much because the nail digs into sensitive skin, triggering inflammation and sometimes even an infection. Treatment may include carefully trimming the nail, prescribing medication for infections, or in some cases, a simple procedure to remove part of the nail. Contact us for an appointment.

It's important to understand treatment options for a podiatrist and read trusted resources to understand it.
