This is partly down to fear of seeing a doctor and of surgery to remove the nail plate, and partly because many people do not know that the problem can be treated without surgery by a pedicurist trained in ingrown nail correction. Once a nail has moved past the first stage and shows signs of infection, leave its treatment to qualified professionals only. Signs of infection include red, warm and swollen skin around the nail, as well as discharge.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53526bdf elementor-align-left elementor-tablet-align-justify elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"53526bdf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/pedicare.si\/en\/appointment-booking\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-arrow-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Free check-up and advice<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5cba5f9e elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"5cba5f9e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_effect&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:2,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;],&quot;background_motion_fx_translateY_affectedRange&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:{&quot;start&quot;:0,&quot;end&quot;:100}}}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c3d2513 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1c3d2513\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8f3e1d0 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-stretch elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8f3e1d0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-84e767e\" data-id=\"84e767e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72acf47 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"72acf47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">PEDICARE SOLVES<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fea4df6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fea4df6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How we treat ingrown toenails at Pedicare<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d2c4a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4d2c4a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Ingrown toenails are the problem Tina Jordan, the first graduate podiatrist in Slovenia, chose as the subject of her thesis. We treat them without surgery, in four steps:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Free check-up.<\/strong> We assess the stage of the ingrowth, the shape and growth of the nail, and any signs of inflammation.<\/li><li><strong>Correction.<\/strong> We painlessly trim the nail where it irritates the skin, clean the nail groove and insert tamponade if needed.<\/li><li><strong>3TO medical brace.<\/strong> If the nail keeps growing in or is strongly curved, we fit a brace made of medical-grade steel, custom-made for your nail. It works much like dental braces, needs no anaesthetic and is also suitable for children, people with diabetes and those allergic to nickel. Depending on the nail shape, we may use another type of medical brace.<\/li><li><strong>Check-ups.<\/strong> You will usually wear the brace for a few months. You come in for a check-up roughly every 4 to 6 weeks, when we inspect and adjust the brace until the nail grows correctly.<\/li><\/ol><p>If the area around the nail is very swollen, oozing pus or you have a fever, please see your GP first.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc2158d elementor-align-left

It can appear at any age, though we see it more often in younger people. It occurs when the nail starts growing into the surrounding tissue (skin). It most often affects the big toe, which carries the most load: it is key to walking and does up to 30% of the work in each step.

You feel pain when the growing nail irritates the surrounding soft tissue. The deeper layers of the skin do have nerves, so even slight pressure from the nail can cause a throbbing pain. With every step and every bit of pressure, the nail damages the surrounding tissue, and the skin switches on its defence mechanism. The tissue around the nail starts to swell, turns reddish and feels noticeably warmer to the touch than elsewhere. Together with pain, these signs point to inflammation. Add to this the fact that microorganisms are present on our skin and all around us, and complications become inevitable if the nail is not treated correctly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1337\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1337\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Can basic hygiene prevent ingrown toenail complications?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1337\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1337\"><p>Yes, basic hygiene is key to avoiding complications with an ingrown toenail.

If you see a doctor, they will usually assess the stage of the ingrowth and, if it can be treated without surgery, recommend a local antibiotic ointment, or in advanced stages systemic treatment as well. If they decide this will not be enough, they will refer you for surgery. If you choose a pedicurist, choose carefully<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Not everyone is trained to correct ingrown nails, so ask about their methods and references first. The pedicurist will draw up a treatment plan based on the stage of the ingrowth. There are several options: a small spike of the nail may need to be cut away, a tamponade may be enough, or, depending on the shape and growth of your nail, they may recommend a longer-lasting correction with a medical brace (there are several types).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-13310\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"10\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-13310\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Surgery: yes or no?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-13310\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"10\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-13310\"><p>Here too, the decision is of course yours.

It is more effective than any other method and a real alternative to surgery. The brace does not limit your daily or sporting activities.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone with a nail problem can wear the 3TO brace.
