Teach your children how to trim their toenails properly. Trim toenails in a fairly straight line, don’t cut down the sides and don’t cut them too short.
Make sure your children’s shoes fit. The width of a shoe is just as important than length to allow toes to grow straight. Make sure that the widest part of the shoe matches the widest part of your child’s foot. Feet can grown quickly and suddenly so check the fit of your children’s shoe regularly. Don’t be tempted to make small shoes last until the end of term, toe deformities can occur quickly in shoes that are too small.
If a child develops a painful ingrown toenail, parents can reduce the inflammation by soaking the child’s foot in room-temperature water and gently massaging the side of the nail fold.
The only proper way to treat a child’s ingrown toenail is with a minor surgical procedure, Book an appointment for a free assessment at Fitter Feet. Parents should never try to dig the nail out or cut it off. This type of ‘home’ treatment carries a high risk for infection.
