If you’ve never had an ingrown toenail removed before, the thought of a procedure may seem daunting. But at On Your Feet AZ, the process is quick, efficient, and designed to minimize pain while providing lasting relief.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial evaluation: Our podiatrists examine the toe, assess the severity, and check for signs of infection.
- Local anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, we numb the area around the affected toe with a local anesthetic.
- Nail removal: Depending on the case, either a portion (partial avulsion) or the entire nail (total avulsion) is removed.
- Chemical treatment: For recurring issues, we apply a chemical (phenol or sodium hydroxide) to prevent that part of the nail from growing back.
- Bandaging and aftercare: The toe is wrapped, and detailed instructions are provided for recovery. Most patients return to normal activity within a few days.
Why choose On Your Feet AZ? Our podiatrists have extensive experience and use a gentle approach to ensure optimal results. We focus on treating the cause—not just the symptoms—so you can walk comfortably again.
