Ingrown Toenail Removal
Many of our patients fear coming in for treatment of an infected ingrown toenail. They come in with excruciating pain and our Podiatrists get to send them home feeling a whole lot better.
An ingrown toenail occurs when a corner of the nail grows into the flesh of the toe, causing redness and swelling, followed by pain and often infection. Ingrown toenails can occur due to improper trimming of the toenail, trauma or genetic factors.

TREATMENT: Treatment for ingrown toenails is performed by gently numbing the toe, and then removing the offending corner of the nail. If you have chronic ingrown toenails, our Podiatrists can remove the root in the office to permanently prevent re-growth of the ingrown portion of the nail. Your treatment will be gentle and virtually painless. Contact Constantouris Foot Care for help.
Toenail Fungus
Embarrass by your feet because of unsightly, crumbly, thickened toenails?
SYMPTOMS: Some of the symptoms of toenail fungus (onychomycosis) are thick, yellow, discolored toenails.
CAUSES: Fungal toenails are caused by an organism that grows in and under the nail. The fungus likes to grow in warm, moist places like your shoes. Many patients pick up fungal toenail infections in the gym locker room, from a nail salon, wet shoes or from trauma. Fungus can stay in the nails for many years and can be passed from one person to another.
TREATMENT: Some of the treatments for toenail fungus include topical and oral medications, which used together are very effective. If you're tired of looking at those unsightly toenails then book now with Constantouris Foot Care.
