ingrowing toenails


IGTN (ingrowing toenail surgery)
This is a painful condition that occurs when the nail starts to press into the fleshy part of the adjacent skin. It can easily become infected and needs a professional podiatry opinion and treatment.
Painless removal of the spicule of nail can be carried out and if needed a minor surgical procedure to prevent recurrence. This is called a partial nail avulsion with phenolisation.
I had my toenails corrrected in this manner many years ago and have never suffered since.

(for the full picture see my piece on Ingrowing toenails that I did with NHS videos that is available on You tube)
Any questions please do get in contact.
