Ingrowing Toe Nails

INGROWING TOE NAILS

Ingrown nails are a regular issue, and when traditional treatment is not resolving the issue, a partial or total nail avulsion is utilized by Dermatologists.

Nail Avulsion is carried out under local anesthesia. This technique includes having either a part or the complete nail removed, and the application of a chemical, Phenol being applied to inhibit the regrowth of the problematic part of the nail. Patients are recommended not to drive after this technique and keep weight-bearing activity to a minimum for the day of the treatment. The wound will be examined on a regular basis and the proper dressings provided.
