Ingrown Nails

Ingrown nails occur when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. This condition commonly affects toenails and can result from improper nail trimming, tight footwear, or genetic predisposition. Dr. Ankit Parashar provides accurate assessment and management, including conservative care such as nail elevation, topical medications, and guidance on proper nail trimming techniques. In severe or recurrent cases, minor surgical procedures may be performed to remove the ingrown portion and prevent recurrence. Patients are also advised on footwear choices, hygiene, and preventive strategies. Treatment focuses on relieving pain, resolving inflammation or infection, and correcting the nail growth pattern. By combining medical therapy, procedural intervention, and patient education, the clinic ensures effective relief and long-term nail health. Follow-up care helps monitor healing and prevent complications, promoting both functional and cosmetic improvement.
