Ingrown Toenails with Permanent REsults
Ingrown Toenails: Causes, Treatments, and Lasting Relief
Ingrown toenails can be painful, swollen, and even infected, making everyday activities difficult. Whether caused by improper nail trimming, tight footwear, genetics, or trauma, an ingrown toenail should not be ignored. At The Podiatry Boutique, we offer effective, same-day treatments in the comfort of your hotel or home, providing immediate relief.
Treatment Options for Ingrown Toenails
Depending on the severity of your ingrown toenail, different treatments may be recommended:
Mild Cases: Conservative care, including proper trimming, warm saltwater soaks, and possibly antibiotics.
Moderate to Severe Cases: When the nail is deeply embedded or infected, a partial nail avulsion or a chemical matricectomy with phenol may be needed for long-term relief.
What is a Partial Nail Avulsion?
A partial nail avulsion (PNA) is a simple procedure in which the affected portion of the toenail is carefully removed while keeping the healthy nail intact. This is ideal for temporary relief when the ingrown nail is causing discomfort or infection.
What is a Chemical Matricectomy with Phenol?
For patients who experience recurring ingrown toenails, a chemical matricectomy with phenol is a more permanent solution. This procedure involves removing a portion of the nail and applying phenol, a chemical that prevents the nail from regrowing in the problematic area.
What is Phenol?
Phenol is a medical-grade chemical used to cauterize the nail matrix, preventing regrowth of the ingrown section. It is highly effective in preventing recurrence and is commonly used in podiatric procedures for permanent relief.
How is the Procedure Performed?
At The Podiatry Boutique, we prioritize patient comfort. Here’s what you can expect:
Numbing the Toe for Maximum Comfort: Before starting, we apply a cold spray to the toe to minimize any discomfort from the anesthetic injection.
Local Anesthetic Administration: A small amount of anesthetic is injected to fully numb the area, ensuring a completely painless procedure.
Nail Removal: The ingrown portion of the nail is carefully removed, either temporarily (partial nail avulsion) or permanently (chemical matricectomy with phenol).
Phenol Application (If Chosen): If a permanent solution is desired, phenol is applied to the nail matrix to prevent regrowth.
Post-Procedure Care: A sterile dressing is applied, and detailed aftercare instructions are provided to promote healing and prevent infection.
