I am suffering from pain from last 1 yr i want u to help me with this can you cut my infected nail as i am having so much pain
Dr Riya Choudhary replied
Hello,
For an ingrown toenail, the definitive treatment is usually a partial or total nail avulsion, which involves removing the affected portion of the nail. This is a minor procedure and is commonly done under local anesthesia.
If you’re currently experiencing pain, it may indicate a secondary infection associated with the ingrown nail. In such cases, oral medications may be required to control the infection.
It’s best to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and timely management. View Answer
