INGROWN TOENAILS

WHAT IS AN
INGROWN TOENAIL?

It’s a common condition where the corner or side of the nail grows in to the soft flesh causing pain, swelling and often infection. They are classified in to three stages.

Ingrown Toenails of Various Degrees of Severity

Stage 1

The nail has grown into the skin on the side. The skin hurts and has become inflamed.

Stage 2

New, inflamed tissue (granuloma) has grown at the edges of the ingrown toenail. The tissue is weeping and producing pus.

Stage 3

The skin around the toenail is chronically inflamed and keeps oozing pus. The granuloma has already started growing over the nail.

frequently asked questions

IS NAIL SURGERY
PAINFUL?

As it is carried out under local anaesthetic it is not painful as the toe is numb. Some people may experience discomfort at the time of the injection of the toe or when the anaesthetic wears off, usually after about two hours. If this is the case simple painkillers such as paracetamol can be taken.

DO ALL INGROWN TOENAILS REQUIRE NAIL SURGERY?

You may not need an operation. The podiatrist will assess whether your problem can be solved in any other way and will advise you of all options.

HOW SOON CAN I GO BACK TO WORK?

Average overall healing time is 6 weeks. You can go back to work within 3 to 5 days after surgery but will need to continue to dress the toe until it has fully healed.

CAN I WEAR SHOES AFTERWARDS?

Please bring a pair of open toed sandals to accommodate the bandage on your toe at time of surgery. You will need a lift home or taxi. After that you should be able to wear normal shoes as long as they don’t apply excessive pressure on the toe. High heeled shoes are not recommended.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY TOE AFTER THE OPERATION?

After the operation you will have a fairly large dressing on your toe for the first 3 to 5 days. You will need to keep this clean and dry. After that you will be shown in clinic how to apply a thinner dressing and be given a supply to use at home. You will be given full written instructions but can contact the clinic at any time if you have any concerns. The podiatrist will see you once more before you are discharged. Further appointments may be offered if needed. All follow up appointments and dressings are included in the price quoted.

  I would definitely recommend Julia to anyone. She helped my son getting rid of his warts he had on his hands and knee. She's such a lovely person and very professional.  A huge THANK YOU.

  Hard to fully explain how much of an amazing job Julia did. I was so nervous when it came to my initial surgery, but not only does she have the experience to back up her skills, but her ability to make you feel at ease and feel like you’re talking to a friend was brilliant.

Genuinely can speak so highly of her, and I’m so thankful for her throughout my process of an ingrown toenail. She followed up after the procedure, provided information and more. I’m now fully healed and to be honest, couldn’t be more happier.

Julia if you see this, thank you so much. Hopefully I don’t see you again, but if I ever require the same treatment, I’ll 100% go to see her again.

  Excellent care from Julia. We have tried loads of home treatments for my son's stubborn verrucas. The swift treatment cured him in a few weeks! Thanks Julia!!

  I went to Julia with a very stubborn verruca. After a consultation about what treatments are available I settled on the swift treatment, 6 treatments several weeks apart. Julia was really nice and very professional at each appointment and here I am 5 treatments later with no verruca.
If you are like me and are fed up with those off the shelf home treatment kits not working then book in for the consultation. I can't recommend it enough.
