Ingrown Toenails
What is Ingrown Toenail?
An ingrown toenail is a common and painful condition of the toe. It occurs when the sides or corner of the nail grow inwards and penetrates the skin of the toe. Pain is often accompanied by swelling and redness. The big toe is affected most often.
What are the Causes of Ingrown Toenails?
Ingrown toenails occur most often by wearing tight shoes, having unusually curved nails that grow downward, or trimming your nails very short or curved.
What are the Treatment Options for Ingrown Toenails?
Ingrown toenails should be treated by your doctor, especially if you suffer from diabetes. Your doctor may suggest
- soaking your foot regularly in warm water,
- prescribe antibiotics and pain relievers, and
- wear open-toed shoes or sandals.

Flexibility is important compared to rigid acrylic toenails which don’t bend with the natural movement of toes and feet and lead to further toenail trauma.
It is also safe to use on human skin and doesn’t cause irritation or further damage to your nail or skin, allowing your toenail underneath to grow naturally.
KeryFlex treated nails are non-porous and will not allow moisture to penetrate between your natural nail and prosthetic nail. This helps prevent a moist environment which can further exacerbate any existing fungal toenail infections.
KeryFlex can also be used during most antifungal treatments providing a cosmetically pleasing appearance.
