Ingrown Toenail Treatment

Comfortable Treatment for Painful Ingrown Toenails

An ingrown toenail can cause throbbing pain, redness, and swelling that worsens over time. At Cortez Foot & Ankle Specialists, we provide prompt, professional treatment to remove the problem area and help prevent future issues. Our team is here to relieve your discomfort and stop infection before it starts.


Ingrown toenails most often develop when nails are trimmed too short, curved, or torn unevenly. They can also result from trauma, tight shoes, or having naturally curved nails. As the nail edge grows into the skin, irritation builds, leading to inflammation and pain. Left untreated, this condition can cause serious infection and even affect the underlying bone.


We treat ingrown toenails in-office with a quick, comfortable procedure. After numbing the area, we remove the affected portion of the nail and treat any signs of infection. For recurring cases, we may recommend a longer-term solution to prevent regrowth in the problem area.



We welcome patients at our Bradenton, University Park, and Ellenton, Florida offices.
