Ingrown Toenail Treatment
Ingrown toenails are a frequent, daily issue we treat, characterized by pain and often infection along the nail edge. Recognising a significant need for dedicated services, The Podiatry Practice established The Ingrown Toenail Centre in 2011. Our podiatrists deliver comprehensive assessment and treatment for both acute and chronic ingrown toenail problems from start to finish.
Complications of Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails can lead to serious soft tissue infections and, in rare instances, affect the underlying bone, requiring prolonged antibiotic use. Recurrent pain and infections are often rooted in underlying nail deformity caused by old injuries or congenital issues.

Ingrown Toenail Surgery
When ingrown toenails become recurrent and cause ongoing pain and infections, our team of podiatrists can provide effective office-based surgery under local anaesthetic to fix the issue permanently.
Most of the time, we can provide a partial nail excision and phenol matrixectomy procedure to remove the outside portion/s of the nail plate that cause ongoing pain. This procedure is suitable for most people and ages, providing you have good circulation and no other medical issues that might affect healing.
Our expert team have performed many hundreds of these procedures, and can also provide light sedation for people who have needle phobia or significant procedural anxiety, to make the procedure less stressful.
Most people with heal up over the course of 2-3 weeks, and the procedure has a very high success rate with very limited chance for recurrence of pain and infection.
