Ingrown Toenails

This common condition occurs when a corner of the toenail becomes trapped under the skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling.

Treatment:  Soaking the afflicted toe in lukewarm, soapy water or Epsom-salt solution softens the nail and drains the infection.  For more serious or persistent problems, the nail edge is removed in the office, under local anesthesia.
