Painful and unsightly, ingrown nails can cause a lot of trouble as well as embarrassment. This problem also makes you more vulnerable to bacterial and fungal nail infections. At Abbey Road Podiatry, we can treat this condition with nail surgery. Carried out under local anaesthesia, this minor surgical process is relatively painless. Nail surgery involves the below steps:
- Numbing the toe with a local anaesthetic
- Surgically removing ingrown section of nail
- Treating the nail bed
- Protecting the nail whilst it heals
