What to Expect

Your podiatrist examines the affected nails, identifies the underlying condition, and performs the appropriate treatment. This may include professional nail trimming and debridement, topical antifungal application, oral medication prescription, or a minor in-office procedure for ingrown toenails. Follow-up visits monitor healing and treatment progress.

When Is This Treatment Recommended?

See a podiatrist for nail care when you have painful, red, or swollen toenail borders, discolored or thickened nails, fungal nail infection, diabetic-related nail concerns, or difficulty trimming your own toenails safely.
