DON'T WAIT FOR TREATMENT OF INGROWN TOENAILS

Multiple experts advised that you shouldn’t wait to get help if you have foot pain, as there are many available treatments. Early intervention can help you prevent worse problems later on. For example, Patrick McEneaney, DPM, a foot and ankle surgeon at Northern Illinois Foot & Ankle Specialists, said there’s a very simple solution to ingrown toenails, a common cause of foot pain.

In just a few minutes, without surgery, a doctor can numb and trim the affected nail and apply medicine to prevent it from growing that way anymore. He doesn’t think people should wait to see a foot specialist for more than a few weeks after the pain begins.
