What causes toenail infections?

Toenail fungus can be caused by several fungal infections, the most common of which is called dermatophyte. This fungus can infect anyone, but certain people are at a greater risk of developing toenail fungus than others. Some factors that contribute to you developing these infections include being older, sweating excessively, and having a history of athlete’s foot.

Ingrown toenails can occur due to improper toenail trimming. Cutting your nails all the way around instead of straight across can lead them to grow abnormally and cause injury to the toe. This can gradually cause infections that may be hard to recover from without help.


What are the treatment options?

Toenail removal is the most effective method for addressing toenail infections. This applies to fungal infections, ingrown toenails, and other infections that can develop on your toes. Surgery is often performed under anesthetic and requires aftercare to ensure proper healing.


Toenail Removal Surgery

At the beginning of the procedure, Dr. Williams will thoroughly numb your toe. Once the area is ready, she will trim away the ingrown part of your toenail or remove the entire nail if needed. If she notices you have an infection, she may recommend taking antibiotics to help you heal. Though ingrown toenails and infections are common, Dr. Williams may suggest removing your nail entirely if you are prone to developing them constantly.
