Here’s what you should about getting board-certified Colorado Springs ingrown toenails care at Intermountain Foot & Ankle:

Ingrown toenails (Onychocryptosis) is a common disease affecting the nail, usually of the big toe. The condition is often painful as the nail essentially grows and cuts into one or both sides of the paronychium or nail bed.

Ingrown nails can occur in both the nails of the hand and feet, but most commonly with the toenails. A true ingrowing toenail is caused by the nail actually penetrating the flesh. This should not be confused with other painful nail conditions such as involuted nails, or the presence of small corns, callus or debris down the nail sulci (grooves either side of the nail plate) or under the nail plate itself. Also it should not be confused with a similar nail disorder, onychocyrtosis or convex nail.

Severe ingrown toenails can be treated by surgery where the physician removes a portion of the nail penetrating the flesh. Recovery time will vary depending upon the condition and the presence of any infection.
