Toenail Problems
We care about toenails and understand how upsetting nail problems can be. If you have ingrown toenails, fungal, thickened or misshapen nails our podiatrists will be able to help. Nails may be badly damaged and painful for many reasons. We also offer "Simply Nails”; a regular, low cost nail cutting service for people who have difficulty seeing, reaching or managing their toenail care.
Toenail Problems?
We care about toenails and have seen just about every problem that can occur! We offer "Simply Nails” a low cost nail cutting service for people who cannot see, reach or manage their nails.
Podiatrists see and treat all sorts of nail problems. At Life and Sole we diagnose fungal nails and tell the difference between fungus and a host of other nail deformities. We use a 10 minute in-clinic fungus DNA test which is 99.999% accurate.
Thick and strange shaped nails are not a challenge for us and there is no need to feel embarrassed. Life can be hard on feet and toenails are easily damaged.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are a common problem that occur when the edges or corners of nails grow into the surrounding skin.
This can happen in any toe, but is most likely on a big toe. Usually an annoying bit of nail is digging in and if it's left or cut badly at home, you could have a much worse problem a few weeks later.
We encourage people to not delay if there is any pain around the toenail. Pain is not normal!
The sooner we see it the less treatment is needed. We prefer to fix these before they require surgery and will give advice on how to keep them healthy and prevent further problems. If it's just too late and there is a painful swollen infected toe we can cure these with an operation under local anaesthesia.
