Ingrowing Toenails
Why Antibiotics will not cure an Ingrowing Toenail
Many new customers attend our clinic with longstanding, painful ingrown toenails. They have often been back to see their GP 4 or 5 times, and at each time have been given another course of antibiotics to try to resolve their ingrowing toenail. While the antibiotics dulled the inflammation, once the course was completed, the inflammation and pain returned.
The problem is that an ingrowing toenail is caused by a spicule of nail growing into the surrounding skin, which then causes inflammation and exquisite pain.
Antibiotics will not remove the spicule of nail only your podiatrist can.
Ease the pain of your tender ingrowing toenail by allowing our specialists to provide a quick & permanent solution to your toe problem.

Treating Painful Ingrowing Toenails

Put your trust in our highly respected team, who are valued by general practitioners in our area. Clients are frequently recommended to us by their doctors, who are happy to inform patients of our services.
We offer a highly successful treatment, which consists of cutting back your painful ingrown toenail in order to remove the spike, thus encouraging the infected toenail to re-grow in a healthy manner.
You will also receive ongoing nail care advice, to prevent further toenail problems. There is a small risk of re-growth and, should this occur within 12 months of the surgery, we will undertake a revision of the surgery free of charge.
Testimonial See what one of our customers said about his ingrowing toenail
“My job involves a lot of walking as a local gamekeeper. I originally found The Forest Foot & Health Clinic on the internet. I had a severe problem with my toe (severe ingrowing toenail pain) which was giving me bad posture and bad back problems.”
“After visiting my GP for a course of antibiotics, which did not work, I came here (The Forest Foot and health Clinic) and basically they sorted me out.”
The Podiatrist removed the offending part of my toenail under local anaesthetic, painlessly and without problems and the whole area cleared up quickly.
“I would highly recommend the Forest Foot & Health Clinic to anyone”
