You will most likely feel intense pain if you have an ingrown toenail, and it may get worse with time. Not only will your toe appear redder, but there may also be considerable swelling and a tight, burning feeling in the affected area. While some symptoms appear later as a result of infection, others are visible in the early stages of an ingrown toenail.
Ingrown Toenail Symptoms In Its Early Stages
● Your toenail's surrounding skin is more sensitive, swollen, or harder.
● When pressure is applied to your injured toe, it hurts.
● Accumulating fluid around your toe.
● Your toenail's tip curved down into your toe.
● Swollen, red skin
● Intense Pain
● Bleeding where your toenail is piercing your flesh
● Overgrowth of skin surrounding the ingrown toenail and oozing pus
● A foul odour emanating from your injured toe
Partial Removal Of The Toenails
Before giving the local anaesthetic for the private ingrown toenail surgery in London, we will first apply a constricting band to the toe to decrease blood flow. Then, we will carefully remove the ingrown nail from beneath the skin's edge. We can then fully remove this section of your toenail by cutting a straight line from the nail that has grown into your skin, beginning at the tip and going all the way down to the root.
After removing the troublesome portion of your toenail, your surgeon will apply a particular chemical solution on cotton swabs, which are then pressed against the base of your nail for a few seconds. By doing this, you can stop the ingrown toenail from returning. The constricting band will be taken off and your toe will be bandaged once our surgeon is done.
Complete Removal Of The Toenails
This surgery, which is comparable to partial nail removal, is utilised when thickness is the cause of your ingrown toenail. The main distinction is that our surgeon will use a sophisticated tool to gently remove the curved part of your nail and its growth plate rather than make a straight cut through it. To ensure that the toenail won't grow back in the same harmful manner, the area where the growth plate was removed will thereafter be treated with a specific chemical (the same one used in partial nail removal) to eradicate any leftover growth tissues.
