An ingrowing toenail occurs when the edge of a nail — most often the big toe — grows into the surrounding soft skin instead of over it. This causes pain, redness and swelling, and the broken skin can easily become infected. The problem often recurs if only the infection is treated and not the nail edge itself.
For recurrent or severe cases, a simple minor surgical procedure provides a permanent solution. At Megha Surgical Hospital we treat ingrowing toenails efficiently under local anaesthesia, relieving pain and reducing the chance of it coming back.
