Is there a permanent remedy to my ingrown toenails?
Yes, there is and it’s a simple one. Most ingrown toenails result from an incurvatlon of the nail into the surrounding skin as it grows out from the root. As the nail digs into the skin it develops into a localized infection. These infections can become intense and must be promptly treated. Provided the patient’s general health is good, a simple in-office procedure can rid you of this chronic condition. Under local anesthetic, the nail border is removed and the matrix or nail root is destroyed. Most patients experience little discomfort with this procedure and the toe will go on to heal in a week or two.
