What is Removal of Ingrown Toenail?
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. Removal of an ingrown toenail is a minor surgical procedure to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and restore comfort. At Baines Hospital, we offer advanced, minimally invasive techniques for safe and effective ingrown toenail removal.
Common Causes of Ingrown Toenail
Ignoring an ingrown toenail can lead to infection, abscess, or more serious complications, especially in people with diabetes. Early treatment is essential for a quick and safe recovery.
Understanding Ingrown Toenail Removal
Ingrown toenail removal can be performed using conservative management, partial nail removal, total nail removal, or nail matrix cauterization. The choice of procedure depends on the severity and recurrence of the condition. All treatments at Baines Hospital are performed in a sterile, safe environment for optimal healing.
