Ingrown Toenails

​

Treatment

Treatment of an ingrown toenail does not need to be painful.

 

A wedge or spicule of nail can be cut back with or without anaesthetic and will provide instant relief from the pain.

​

You may be advised to seek antibiotics through your GP or to return at certain intervals to retrain the nail to grow trouble-free.

​

After all conservative efforts have been made, it may be time to consider Nail Surgery. This is a simple procedure that can be easily explained and quoted for by the podiatrist.

 

Most private health insurers cover Nail Surgery, also known as a Partial Nail Avulsion.
