Ingrown toenail Care

The typical minor surgical procedure for ingrown toenail removal involves removing the very small portion of the nail that is curving into the skin and cleaning out any infected tissue around the nail. Inaddition, a chemical is often applied to the root of the toenail corner to prevent the toenail from becoming ingrown in the future. The entire procedure takes under 10 minutes and is performed in the office on the same day of your initial visit. Alternatively for chronic and non-severe ingrown and pincer toenails a non-invasive option called the Onyfix Nail Correction System may be recommended.
