Ingrown Toenail Removal

Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the nail grows into the soft flesh of the toe, causing pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. At Revere Health, we offer safe and effective ingrown toenail removal procedures to relieve discomfort and prevent complications. Our providers can either lift the affected nail or remove the part of the nail that is causing the issue, depending on the severity of the condition.

Types of Ingrown Toenail Removal
Nail Lifting: For mild cases of ingrown toenails, the nail edge may be gently lifted to prevent further growth into the skin. This process can reduce pain and allow the nail to grow properly.
Nail Removal (Partial or Full): In more severe cases, the part of the nail that is causing the problem is removed. If the ingrown toenail has led to a recurring issue or infection, a small portion of the nail or the entire nail may be surgically removed to prevent future problems.

Symptoms of an Ingrown Toenail
Pain and Tenderness: Pain along one or both sides of the toenail, especially when pressure is applied.
Redness and Swelling: The area around the ingrown toenail may appear red and swollen.
Infection: If left untreated, ingrown toenails can lead to infection, causing pus and increased pain.

Treatment and Recovery
Local Anesthetic: To ensure a painless procedure, a local anesthetic is used to numb the toe during removal.
Aftercare: Following the procedure, patients are advised to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting shoes, and avoid strenuous activity until the toe heals.
Prevention: To prevent future ingrown toenails, we provide guidance on proper toenail trimming techniques, foot care, and shoe selection.
