The most common problem that we see at Medical Pedicure is the “hacked” nail or the nail that was trimmed incorrectly. Quite often, this manifests in an ingrowing toe nail due to a piece of pointy nail left on the edge of the nail which digs into the skin surrounding the toe nail. So painful to touch when it’s at its worst, but the moment that piece of nail is removed – the relief is immediate!
The best piece of advise I can give anyone is to ensure that you have a proper pair of nail clippers which allow you to cut your nail straight across the file any rough edges. Don’t dig down the sides of your nails!
If you feel you have tenderness please see us before it’s too late!
