If you have ever suffered from an Ingrown toe nail you will know how painful they can be.
How Can I treat Them?
There are many procedures that have been developed over the years to address chronic or recurrent ingrown toenails. These range from quite invasive procedures requiring stitches and considerable change to the visual appearance of the toe, to less invasive procedures with minimal post operative pain and less cosmetic effects to the toe.
At Feet&BeautyMed our preferred procedure is a partial nail avulsion and Pheonisation done under local anaesthetic (Nail surgery). We also can provide a total nail avulsion if the need arises. This has been shown through research to be the most reliable form of procedure to reduce the risk of recurrence caused by a re-growth of the nail. It is generally very safe, with very minimal pain afterwards, and can be safely performed in an office based clinical setting.

After the procedure, you will be sent home with the toe bandaged and instructions on what to do (pain medications, elevation, rest, keep dry, etc). Typically, we will review you within a couple of
days and change the dressing, and then given you instructions on self management of the toe (ie changing dressings yourself) over the coming 1-2 weeks. Your podiatrist will then normally review the toe again at that point to make sure it is healing properly, and then follow up with you as necessary after then.
