Our Podiatry team are here to help
Ingrown toenails can be more than a minor irritation and you don’t have to wait months for relief.
With GP and NHS podiatry waiting times often reaching six months, many people try to cope at home until the pain becomes unbearable, and some end up in A&E in absolute agony.
At Bawtry Podiatry Clinic, we offer fast, effective and permanent solutions for ingrown toenails.
Our podiatrists can assess the nail, relieve the pain, and provide minor nail surgery where suitable, a procedure designed to stop the problem from returning.
While you’re waiting to be seen, home care can help settle things temporarily:
• Warm salt-water soaks
• Effigerm wound care spray
• Keeping the toe clean and dry
• Avoiding tight footwear
• Using a sterile dressing if the area is tender
But these are only short-term measures. If your toe is swollen, painful, infected, or keeps flaring up, the most reliable way to resolve it is with specialist podiatry treatment.
You don’t need to suffer for months or reach crisis point.
