FAQ's
Common causes include improper nail trimming, tight footwear, toe injuries, and natural nail shape. Our Canberra podiatrists will identify the underlying cause to prevent recurrence.
We offer gentle conservative care for mild cases and minor surgical procedures (Partial Nail Avulsion) for more persistent or painful ingrown toenails.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during treatment. Mild tenderness may occur afterwards but is usually short-lived.
Most patients return to normal activities the same or next day. Healing usually takes 2–3 weeks, depending on the procedure.
Mild cases may improve with proper nail care and footwear, but untreated ingrown toenails can lead to infection. Professional treatment is recommended for lasting relief.
Trim nails straight across, wear properly fitting shoes, and avoid cutting nails too short. Our podiatrists can provide personalised prevention advice during your appointment.
