Ingrown toenail treatment
Ingrowing toenails can occur when a nail has been damaged or is deformed. The nail grows into the skin causing pain and sometimes leading to infection. In more severe cases, it can cause pus and bleeding. Ingrown toenails most commonly affect the big toenail, but can affect the other toes too.
Ingrown toenail treatment options at Hove Foot Clinic
We always try to treat ingrown toenails conservatively with minimal intervention, but surgery is sometimes necessary to prevent recurrence. Surgery is performed under local anaesthesia. Usually, only part of the offending nail is removed, although it is possible to remove the whole nail if it is very deformed.
Onyfix nail correction system
We are also now offering the Onyfix nail correction system. Onyfix is a non-invasive, pain-free treatment designed for patients suffering from ingrown, involuted, or pincer nails. It’s ideal for those who cannot have or do not want nail surgery, such as needle-phobic individuals, high-risk patients, children with problem nails, and diabetics. It provides an affordable alternative to surgical procedures while delivering long-term results.
