An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling and sometimes infection. Often resulting from improper nail trimming, tight footwear or injury, this common condition can affect anyone but is especially prevalent among active individuals. At Lidcombe Podiatry, we understand the discomfort caused by ingrown toenails and offer specialised treatments that stand out in the Cumberland region.

      How to Prevent Ingrown Toenail

      Preventing an ingrown toenail is easier with the right practices:

      Proper Nail Trimming

      Trim nails straight across and avoid cutting them too short. This prevents the nail from growing into the skin.

      Regular Foot Checks

      Especially for those with diabetes or poor circulation, regular checks can catch potential problems early.

      Appropriate Footwear

      Choose shoes that fit well and provide adequate room for your toes to move freely.

      Protective Gear

      If involved in activities that could injure the toes, wearing protective footwear is essential.

      Foot Hygiene

      Maintain clean, dry feet to prevent bacterial or fungal infections that could complicate an ingrown toenail.
