An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, redness, and sometimes infection.

This common condition often affects the big toe and can result from improper nail trimming, tight footwear, or injury. If left untreated, an ingrown toenail can become increasingly painful and lead to more serious complications.

At NOVA Foot and Ankle Center, our doctors provide expert care to alleviate discomfort and prevent recurrence, ensuring your feet stay healthy and pain-free.
