Welcome to the Center for Foot Care, where we specialize in providing effective treatment for various nail problems. It is crucial to address these issues promptly to prevent further complications and ensure optimal foot health.
Common Nail Problems
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail occurs when the nail curves into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, redness, and swelling. If left untreated, it can result in an infection. At the Center for Foot Care, our expert podiatrists are skilled in diagnosing and treating ingrown toenails.
Causes and Symptoms
Ingrown toenails can be caused by genetic factors or trauma. Common symptoms include pain, tenderness, swelling, and drainage of pus.
Treatment Options
Treatment options may include conservative measures, such as soaking the foot in warm water, wearing proper footwear, or in some cases, a minor surgical procedure to remove the ingrown portion of the nail.
Fungal Nail Infections
Fungal nail infections are caused by the overgrowth of fungi in the nails. They can lead to thickened, discolored,ugly or painful nails.
Treatment Options
Our podiatrists will evaluate the severity of your fungal nail infection and recommend appropriate treatment options. These may include topical antifungal medications, oral medications, or laser therapy to eliminate the fungal infection.
