An ingrown toenail is an excruciating condition that befalls when your toenail grows into a crease of skin on your toe. This causes your toe to become sore, inflamed and to swell. In such circumstances, surgery is needed to eradicate the offending portion of the nail to stop it from developing into the skin. A sliver of the nail is taken out, running from the tip to the base. This instantaneously eases the compression on the skin, and will stop pain and inflammation. This surgery is habitually administered to treat this disorder. Its purpose is to cut away the nail that is digging into your skin.

The procedure

The surgery is a minor process that only takes a few some minutes. This surgery seldom has any complications and retrieval is complete in less than two weeks. Your doctor will prepare your toe for the process by covering it with a povidone-iodine solution. He will then vaccinate lidocaine into your toe to numb it in grounding for the operation. It will take around ten minutes for your toe to become completely numb. When your toe has lost all sensation, the doctor will insert a nail elevator below your toenail to elevate it up from your nail bed so he can trim the portion that is growing into your skin. Usually, for a first time ingrown toenail surgery, only a slender portion of the nail is taken out. Individuals who experience recurrent ingrown toenails might opt to have their whole nail removed to abolish their problem permanently. After the nail is removed, your doctor will shield your toe in antibiotic ointment and a gauze bandage.

Post procedure

When you go back home, you will have to keep your foot raised for around a day and immerse your toe in warm water three times a day until it is restored. You will perhaps apply an antibiotic ointment twice every day and might also take oral antibiotics. You will have discomfort for some days that can be relieved with over-the-counter medicine. Avoid applying pressure on your toe by wearing of close-fitting shoes or socks or by activities like running, for at least two weeks after your ingrown toenail surgery. Serious complications of ingrown toenail surgery are rare but there is a likelihood of extreme bleeding, a response to the inoculated anesthesia, and the spread of septicity into the toe and neighboring bones.
