In-grown toenails are caused due to distress, disorders or damage to the nails on your feet. This is usually observed occurring on the big toe but can affect the smaller toes as well. An in-grown toenail is a full nail or a portion of the nail that grows into the skin or penetrates the skin’s surface causing pain and discomfort.
Book An Appointment
At your appointment, our Ballarat podiatrists will assess the nail shape, the surrounding skin and whether the toe is infected. Our conservative care often involves a gentle reshaping of the nail, while in long-term and recurring cases, minor nail surgery may be required to provide a long-term solution.
Our podiatrists spend up to 30 hours a year working on their professional development, in addition to the well known professional development days that we host at Ballarat Podiatry. These hours are spent upskilling to know the latest in-grown toenail solutions to ensure that you get the most up to date advice.
