Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown Toenail Treatment in Northwest Arkansas

Relieve pain. Restore comfort. Get back on your feet.

Every step should feel effortless — whether you’re biking, running, walking your dog, or powering through a long workday. But when an ingrown toenail starts pressing into the skin, that small edge of your nail can quickly take the edge off your comfort and confidence.

At Arkansas Foot & Ankle Specialists, we treat ingrown toenails every day and our goal is simple, to relieve your pain quickly and get you back to doing what you love.

What Causes Ingrown Toenails?

An ingrown toenail occurs when the side or corner of the nail grows into the surrounding skin. It’s a common and often painful condition that can affect anyone — but it’s especially common among:

Athletes, whose repetitive foot motion and tight footwear increase pressure on the toes.
Busy professionals and parents, who spend long hours on their feet.
Patients with diabetes or circulation issues, who must be extra careful to prevent infection.

Typical causes include curved nail shape, improper trimming, snug shoes, or toe injuries. Left untreated, the problem can progress from redness and swelling to infection— making prompt treatment essential for long-term relief and prevention.

Expert Care, Tailored to You

Your treatment begins with a careful exam and a conversation about your lifestyle and activity level. From there, we personalize care to your situation:

Relief

For mild cases, gentle trimming and infection control may restore comfort quickly.

Permanent Nail Border Removal

For recurring or severe cases, we offer a simple, in-office procedure using numbing medicine. The problem edge is removed, and the area is treated to prevent it from growing back.

Rapid Recovery

The procedure requires no stitches, and most patients return to work or regular activity the same day. Healing typically completes within two weeks. Our team uses sterile techniques and a patient-first approach to ensure the best possible results with minimal discomfort and a smooth recovery experience.
