Randell's Footcare
An ingrown toenail happens when a spike or rough edge of nail pushes into the soft skin at the side of the toe as the nail grows forward. This most often occurs on the big toes. The toe can be extremely painful, inflamed and infected.
Toenails that are thick or curved can also cause the toe sides to be painful even though they are not actually ingrowing.
We can often clear the offending piece of nail sometimes using local anaesthetic, this along with footwear and nail cutting advice may be all that is needed but sometimes a further procedure is required.
Partial Nail removal – Removal of the side of the ingrown nail
Total Nail removal – Removal of the whole ingrown nail
Both procedures include the surgery appointment & follow-up dressing appointments
We guarantee this procedure so that if there is any future problems we will treat until comfortable
The surgery is painless due to the administration of a local anesthetic
Once the offending piece of nail is removed a chemical is applied to the exposed cells to ensure regrowth of the nail does not occur
Dressing and bandages are then applied
The podiatrist will follow up with you in 2-3 days and then 2 weekly until everything is healed
