Ingrowing Toe Nail Treatment

An ingrowing toenail — where the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin instead of over it — is a surprisingly painful condition that can significantly affect your ability to walk comfortably and carry out daily activities. It most commonly affects the big toe and can cause redness, swelling, tenderness, and in some cases infection if left untreated.

Dr. Arpit Panchal at Shree Hospital and ICU, Vadodara treats ingrowing toenails with a simple minor surgical procedure that provides quick, lasting relief. The ingrown portion of the nail is carefully removed under local anaesthesia — meaning you are awake but feel no pain during the procedure. Most patients are able to walk out of the clinic the same day and return to normal footwear within a few weeks.
