Are you looking for Ingrown Toenail treatment in Leeds?
Are you looking for support with Ingrown Toenails in Leeds, Swillington, Rothwell, Garforth and the surrounding areas?
We are very proud of our reputation in the Swillington and local areas including Rothwell, Woodlesford, Garforth and Leeds. For years, patients have depended on the Total Health Care team to provide valuable support and treatment of ingrown toenails.
Ingrown toenails occur when the edges or corners of your nails grow into the skin next to the nail. Your big toe is most likely to get an ingrown toenail.
Ingrown toenails occur in both men and women but may be more common in people with sweaty feet, such as teenagers. Older people may also be at higher risk because toenails thicken with age.​

What Causes Ingrown Toenails?

-
toenail injury, including stubbing your toe, dropping something heavy on your foot, or kicking a ball repeatedly.
-
poor posture.
-
improper foot hygiene, such as not keeping your feet clean or dry.
