What is Ingrowing Toenail Removal Birmingham?

Ingrowing toenail removal is a minor procedure used to treat an ingrown toenail, where the edge or corner of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin. It most commonly affects the big toe and can cause pain, redness, swelling, tenderness and sometimes infection.

How is it treated?

If an ingrown toenail is persistent, painful or repeatedly infected, a healthcare professional may recommend removing the affected part of the nail.

The procedure generally involves:

  1. Assessment – The toe and toenail are examined to determine the severity.
  2. Local anaesthetic – The toe is numbed to keep the procedure comfortable.
  3. Nail removal – The problematic edge or section of the nail is carefully removed.
  4. Nail-root treatment – In some cases, a chemical such as phenol may be used to prevent the troublesome section from growing back.
  5. Dressing and aftercare – The toe is dressed and you receive instructions for caring for it during healing.
