Ingrowing Toenails (Please click on underlined words or phrases for more information) An ingrowing toenail is a painful condition which is treated by the surgical removal of the nail splinter (resection) and treatment of any inflammation or infection. This doesn't have to hurt! By numbing the toe with electronic local analgesia (no injections!), ingrowing toenails can be treated without pain. One or two follow-up treatments may be required to ensure satisfactory progress. If caught sufficiently early, resection may be avoided by smoothing the nail edge and packing the nail groove. |
