Ingrown Toenail Treatment

Almost everyone will suffer from an ingrown toenail at some point in their life. If treated quickly and effectively, discomfort can be prevented. Following a thorough assessment the Podiatrist will present the options in addressing the present pain and pathology and the future management.

In the event that they become swollen and infected, or are a occurring problem,  the surgically trained Podiatrists at Podiatry First can perform a simple permanent procedure that removes the offending portion of nail and prevents it from growing back.

The procedure is carried out in less than 30 minutes and is performed under a local anaesthetic. It does not involve any cutting of skin or stitches, and recovery time is very short. In most cases normal activity can be resumed the next day.
