  1. IS INGROWN TOENAIL SURGERY RIGHT FOR YOU? HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  2. WHAT CAUSES INGROWN TOENAILS? Ingrown toenails are when the nail edge penetrates into the surrounding tissue, usually producing redness, swelling, and pain. Tight shoes, improper nail trimming, trauma, or inherently curved nails can all cause it. Early detection often allows conservative management, such as warm soaks, antiseptics, and shoe changes, to resolve it. But when these interventions fail, surgery must be done to avoid aggravating the condition.

  3. WHAT DOES SURGERY INVOLVE? Our standard method is a Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA), a quick out-patient procedure where we cut out the bit of nail that'scutting into the skin. We often use phenol on the nail matrix to prevent that bit from growing back—this dramatically reduces the chance of recurrence. Under local anaesthetic, the procedure is painless, and patients can often leave the clinic on the same day. We take pride in providing accurate, clean, and comfortable procedures. Our patients are usually surprised at how fast the whole process is, from consultation to recovery.

  4. IS IT TIME TO THINK ABOUT SURGERY? If you've experienced several flare-ups, have ongoing pain when walking, or see infection signs (pus, intense redness, or spreading heat), it's time to get expert help. At our clinic, we perform a proper evaluation to determine if private ingrown toenail surgery in London is right for your situation. Each foot is unique, and we never proceed with surgery without first considering non-surgical methods.
