Ingrown Toenails Explained

An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of your toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling. Left untreated, it can lead to infections and more serious complications. Common causes of ingrown toenails include:

Improper nail trimming.
Wearing tight or ill-fitting footwear.
Trauma to the toe.
Genetic predisposition.

At The LV Foot Surgeons, we understand the importance of addressing ingrown toenails promptly to prevent further discomfort and potential complications.

Signs You Need Ingrown Toenail Treatment

If you experience any of the following symptoms, it’s time to schedule an appointment with our team:

Persistent pain or tenderness around the nail.
Swelling, redness, or warmth in the toe.
Signs of infection, such as pus or drainage.
Difficulty walking due to toe discomfort.

Don’t ignore these symptoms—early treatment can help you avoid more invasive procedures.

Comprehensive Ingrown Toenail Treatment Options

At The LV Foot Surgeons, we offer a range of treatments tailored to your specific condition. Our goal is to provide safe, effective, and minimally invasive solutions to alleviate pain and promote healing.

Non-Surgical Treatments
For mild cases, we may recommend:

Foot soaks to reduce swelling.
Antibiotics to treat or prevent infection.
Careful trimming of the affected nail to relieve pressure.

Surgical Treatments
For severe or recurring ingrown toenails, surgical intervention might be necessary. Our procedures include:

Partial Nail Removal: Removing the ingrown portion of the nail while preserving the healthy section.
Matrixectomy: Permanently removing the nail’s root to prevent regrowth in cases of chronic ingrown toenails.

Both procedures are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable and pain-free experience. Most patients can resume normal activities within days.

  I highly recommend this office! I left a message late last night, and they called me back at 9:00 a.m. the next morning and were able to squeeze my daughter in to see Dr. Evan Vieira that same day. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly, and the office is very clean. As soon as my daughter and I walked in, the front desk warmly welcomed us and made us feel comfortable. Dr. Vieira took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly and made sure we understood everything. Another big plus is the convenient parking. There's a large parking lot, so there's no need to worry about finding street parking. The office is located next to CVS on 188th Street in Fresh Meadows, making it very easy to find. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this office!

  I had an amazing experience with Dr. Vieira. From the very beginning, he took his time to explain each step of the procedure in a clear and easy-to-understand way, without overwhelming me with medical terminology. He communicated thoroughly throughout the entire process and consistently made sure I was comfortable. The procedure itself was super fast, and he stayed right by my side the entire time. What I truly loved most was that Dr. Vieira created space for open communication and welcomed any questions I had. It made me feel comfortable reaching out without ever feeling like a burden as a patient. That level of approachability and genuine connection made a huge difference and helped me feel safe and supported. He also made sure I clearly understood the healing process and next steps before I left. Dr. Lee was also amazing. She has such a warm, outgoing energy and communicates so well that she immediately makes you feel at ease. Together, their personalities complement each other perfectly. Their teamwork is phenomenal, and the office environment feels welcoming, safe, and honestly like home. The practice is in a very convenient location, and the staff is willing to work with you. I gave this practice five stars because I have absolutely no complaints. I felt safe, trusted the doctors completely, and walked away with new knowledge and confidence. I would highly recommend Dr. Vieira and Dr. Lee — 10/10 experience.

  I want to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care Dr. Vieira provided during my recent nanoplasty bunion correction surgery. I am truly amazed at how good my foot looks, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. His expertise made the entire experience far easier than I anticipated. The procedure was remarkably less invasive, and the recovery time has been easier and less painful. Thank you again for your outstanding work and for helping me heal so smoothly. I deeply appreciate everything you’ve done. Joanna
