The ingrowing toenail, often seen as a trivial condition, can be a substantial source of pain and potential morbidity in high-risk patients. Furthermore, this malady is commonly seen by the general practitioner who possesses little training in the management of the condition. Compounding the problem is the myriad of reported nonsurgical and surgical treatments. This article reviews the topic of ingrowing toenails and offers treatment options based on a review of the literature.

Key Words: ingrowing toenail • phenol • matrixectomy
