Overview

Ingrowing toenails occur when the corners or edges of nails grow into the skin near the nails. Compared to other fingers, the big toe is the most likely one to get an ingrowing toenail.

Pre Procedure

No specific instructions are required to be followed before the procedure.

During Procedure

This invasive procedure generally takes around 10-15 minutes. It is performed by a doctor, who is assisted by a nurse.
The patient will be asked to sign a consent form and then moved to an area where their privacy will be respected throughout the procedure.
Betadine solution is used for treating the affected toenail.
Local anaesthesia is given to the patient via injection.
An incision is made by the doctor, who then removes the complete/partial nail plate. A blade is used to destroy the nail bed.
The doctor then applies a clean compression bandage on the toenail.
