An ingrown toenail, or onychocryptosis, occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the skin of the toe, causing pain, inflammation, redness, and even infection. It is a common condition that can affect daily life, sports, and the use of footwear. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At Pie Vital, we evaluate the cause of the problem, which may be related to the shape of the nail, improper cutting, footwear, or biomechanical factors. Treatment is adapted to the stage of the injury, with the goal of relieving pain and preventing recurrence. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Treatment depends on the degree of involvement and the factors causing it. In many cases, nail surgery allows for the removal of the part of the nail responsible for the problem and acts on the matrix to prevent it from becoming ingrown again, with very satisfactory functional and aesthetic results. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
