It is the start of college football season and people are grabbing their jersey's team gear and making all of the delicious football snacks you can think of. Fans are gathering at the stadiums and around their living room tvs to watch their team fight it out to the end to become the best. For the quarterback of the #1 Alabama team, he is having a rough start to the season. AJ McCarron is said to have been walking around in a boot after having had an ingrown toenail removed.
When most people have an ingrown toenail, they think big deal, how could it be that painful. The reality is that until you have had one, you have no room to speak. They hurt like all get out and anyone that tells you otherwise hasn't had a full on one. Now you might ask, why did he get it removed right before the season started? Ingrown toenails have the potential to become an area of infection and great pain. This is why it needs to be removed as soon as possible so that it doesn't become an area of infection and lead to much bigger issues. Once you have had your ingrown removed, you will need a surgical shoe just for a couple of days while the are heals and closes up well.
If you have an ingrown toenail, you should seek care from your podiatrist. There could be an infection that needs to be treated with antibiotics and it could become much worse if not taken care of quickly. If you live in the Dracut or Reading, Massachusetts area, Dr. Wachtel would be more than happy to see you and help treat your feet.
