Nail Surgery
If you are suffering from a painful ingrowing toenail which is likely to be an ongoing issue or often becomes infected then nail surgery might be the right choice for you.
This treatment is performed under local anaesthetic to ensure there is no pain during the surgery. There is the option of either the whole nail being removed or just the offending edge to produce a more cosmetically pleasing result. After this the nail bed will be cauterised with phenol, a strong acid, in order to prevent regrowth.
This treatment is not suitable for undertaking during a home visit but Josh is able to provide surgical nail removal at the Well Being Centre in Liskeard.
