An ingrown toenail can turn every step into a painful one. Our podiatrists treat ingrown nails gently and effectively, from conservative care for mild cases to permanent minor nail surgery for those that keep coming back, all with a focus on comfort.
Conservative treatment
For many people, careful removal of the offending nail edge and clear after-care advice brings fast relief. We'll show you how to keep the area healthy and prevent recurrence.
Permanent nail surgery
If your ingrown toenail keeps returning, a minor procedure called a partial nail avulsion offers a permanent solution. Performed under local anaesthetic in our clinic, it removes the problem nail edge and treats the nail bed so it won't regrow. The procedure is straightforward, and most people return to normal activity quickly.
- Performed under local anaesthetic for a pain-free experience
- High success rate with very low recurrence
- Clear after-care and follow-up included
- Suitable for teenagers and adults
When to seek help
If your toe is red, swollen, weeping or increasingly painful, don't wait. Early treatment is simpler and prevents infection.
