Why Do Ingrown Toenails in Arizona Keep Coming Back?

Ingrown toenails are one of the most common reasons for consultation related to foot issues, affecting 20 out of 100 people who consult. This condition can come back frequently due to various factors. The primary sources are incorrect cutting habits, adjusted shoes, and genetics. In some cases, individuals who spend a lot of time standing or practicing physical activity, such as sports with repetitive impacts on their toes, may develop repetitive ingrown toenails. 

Arizona

The warm weather in Arizona forces many people to wear sandals or walk barefoot, increasing the risk of a lesion on their toes. This habit also exposes the foot to infections or direct pressure in the nail area. 

We recommend being careful about your toes every day to prevent complications. For example, if you don’t notice that you have an ingrown toenail, and you keep wearing tight shoes, the temperature and humidity can worsen your condition. This daily check becomes more critical if you have type 2 diabetes or obesity because it allows you to get help rapidly and heal in a shorter time.

How Do We Treat Recurrent Cases?

Every patient is unique, but we can adapt to each case. We understand how frustrating the discomfort of having this condition over and over again can be. Our primary goal is not to provide momentary pain relief, but a long-term solution. When reviewing a medical record with multiple cases of ingrown toenails, we initiate a comprehensive examination, and the treatment can vary depending on the case. Our usual services are: 

  • Nail curve and form evaluation.
  • Partial extraction of nail for decompression and swelling reduction. 
  • In the case of infection, antibiotic medication can be administered.
  • Constant follow-up: By tracking the post-treatment evolution, we can ensure the affected area heals correctly and prevent repetition.

Post-Treatment Care To Stop Ingrown Toenails 

After the treatment, our team will guide you on how to care for your toes correctly at home. These recommendations and tips teach you the correct technique to cut your toenails without hurting the edges or causing a future recurrence. However, that is not all; you will also learn to choose your footwear appropriately to protect your toes against hitting or pressing. 

Care is essential to treat the root source of your pain; that is why, after the process, we must show you the alarming signs to return for consultation before any complications.
