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.
