Unveiling the Ingrown Toenail Challenge
That throbbing, relentless pain of an ingrown toenail is all too familiar for those who’ve endured it. A quick Google search for ‘ingrown toenail treatment’ reveals a plethora of options—some promising relief, others not so much. At Prosper Podiatry – Home of the Geelong Ingrown Toenail Clinic, we’re the ingrown toenail experts, and we’re here to lay out your optimal treatment avenues.
Personalised Treatment Approach
Ingrown toenails come in varying degrees of severity and location, making each case unique. Our podiatrists meticulously craft treatment plans tailored to your specific situation. Factors like severity, duration, infection presence, location, and contributing factors guide our approach. Rest assured, ALL ingrown toenails, regardless of severity, warrant professional attention. While home remedies may alleviate symptoms temporarily, they don’t address the underlying issue.
How Can We Assist You?
Drawing from our extensive experience in ingrown toenail treatment, Prosper Podiatry – Home of the Geelong Ingrown Toenail Clinic has formulated a comprehensive guide to effectively manage your condition. Depending on the severity, we offer both surgical and non-surgical options.
Non-Surgical
Non-surgical interventions encompass packing the nail edge to alleviate pressure and conservative removal of the offending portion using clinical instruments. Antibiotics come into play if an infection is detected.
Surgical intervention
Our low-invasive ingrown toenail surgery, known as ‘Partial Nail Avulsion,’ takes place in our clinic. This procedure entails the careful removal of a vertical nail piece, reaching all the way to the nail matrix where it originates. A cauterising agent is applied to the matrix, preventing future ingrown toenail issues. This common procedure yields minimal complications, and we recommend a 24-hour rest period post-surgery. Healing typically completes within 1–3 weeks, allowing you to return to your daily routine.
