INGROWN TOENAILS

James R. Hanna, DPM specializes in a quick, virtually painless, and correction of ingrown nails.

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.

Some common Symptoms of Ingrown Nails

  • Inflammation

  • Pain

  • Redness

  • Swelling

  • Drainage

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, we 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, and we'll get you back to your normal activities. Please schedule an appointment with with our Podiatrist now and find relief from your ingrown toenail.

 
Lockport, NY Podiatrist treats toenail fungus

TOENAIL FUNGUS

Are You Embarrassed To Wear Your Open-Toed Shoes In Public? Do You Have Thick, Yellow, Discolored Toenails?

Chances are you have fungal toenails, a condition also known as onychomycosis.

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 for fungal toenails includes topical and oral medications, which used together are very effective. If you're tired of looking at those unsightly toenails, please book an appointment with James R. Hanna, DPM
