Ingrown toenails can often reoccur due to underlying biomechanical, genetic, or environmental issues. Left untreated, it is easy for them to develop infections which increase the difficulty for treatment.
Successful Patient Outcomes
Before
After (Removal of bandage)
After (1 month after surgery)
Removal of an IGTN can be done using a partial nail avulsion or a total nail avulsion depending on the severity and the infection present. Podiatry nail avulsions are minimally invasive with minimal down time and high success rate of non-recurrence.
What happens if I don’t treat it?
If ingrown toenails are left untreated, they can result in severe infections to the bone, nail trauma or even permanent disfigurement of the toe.
