Our team of skilled podiatrists understands the impact that ingrown toenails can have on your daily life, and we are here to provide the relief and support you need. Let us help you take that step towards comfort and well-being by addressing your ingrown toenail concerns.

Understanding Ingrown Toenails:

Ingrown toenails occur when the edges of the toenail grow into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, inflammation, and potential infection. They can result from various factors, including improper nail trimming, tight footwear, foot trauma, or genetic predisposition. Ignoring an ingrown toenail can exacerbate the issue, leading to further discomfort and potential complications.

Comprehensive Assessment and Diagnosis:

At Bondi Podiatry, we prioritize a thorough assessment to understand the underlying cause of your ingrown toenail. Our experienced podiatrists will examine your foot, assess the severity of the condition, and consider your medical history to develop an accurate diagnosis. This personalized approach ensures that we tailor our treatment plan specifically to your needs.

Customised Treatment Options:

We offer a range of effective treatment options to address your ingrown toenail. Depending on the severity and individual factors, our podiatrists may recommend one or more of the following:

1. Conservative Care: For mild cases, we may suggest conservative treatments such as proper nail trimming techniques. Our podiatrists will guide you on at-home care practices to prevent further complications and regular appointments if required.

2. Partial Nail Avulsion: In more advanced cases, a minor surgical procedure known as a partial nail avulsion may be recommended. This procedure involves removing a portion of the nail or the entire nail to alleviate pain and prevent future ingrown toenails. Rest assured, our podiatrists will ensure your comfort throughout the procedure and provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions.

Our lead podiatrist is endorsed for the prescription of scheduled medicines which means that a prescription for antibiotics can be provided if required.
