Ingrown Toenails Procedure

If the ingrown nail is deep or infected then a very simple procedure can be performed to provide a cure in most instance.

This procedure involves removing the sliver of the toenail that curves inward, including its root. The procedure is often painless and takes only a few minutes in the podiatrist's clinic.

 A local anaesthetic is used & while some people can be nervous about this, the Podiatrist has several ways of reducing any discomfort.

Because the ingrown toenail's root is removed, the nail can never become ingrown again. The success rate is approximately 96% with patients who are treated in this way, even those who inherit the problem.

The beauty of this very simple procedure is that the patient walks in & walks out & is generally able to go back to work straight away or within a day &, never have the pain & inconvenience again.
