A few helpful answers
Your questions, answered
Can you treat an ingrown toenail?
Yes. Mild cases can often be managed by trimming and removing the edge of nail that is pressing into the skin. If it keeps coming back, a minor procedure under local anaesthetic can remove the edge of the nail and treat the nail root so that edge does not regrow.
Does ingrown toenail surgery hurt?
The toe is numbed with a local anaesthetic before the procedure, so most people feel pressure rather than pain during it. Some soreness for a few days afterwards is common. You will get written aftercare instructions and a review appointment.
