Do you have recurring ingrown toenails that you can’t shake? While at-home maintenance & professional care from a Podiatrist can help prevent or fix ingrown toenails – sometimes they just keep coming back. This could be due to lack of care or following advice from your Podiatrist – or it could be hereditary or due to the shape of your nail and out of your control.
You may be getting a bit sick of the pain and troubles that come with repeated ingrown toenails & infection that you are starting to ask yourself “do I need ingrown toenail surgery?”
Our Podiatrist Mitch has a few things to consider if it’s time & you need to decided to get ingrown toenail surgery:
1. You have decided you want a permanent solution to your ingrown toenails.
2. Ongoing bouts of infections cause by your ingrown toenails.
3. Your Podiatrist has recommended the surgery due to your nail shape/structure and history of ingrown toenails.
If you’ve had a troublesome ingrown toenail that has come back 2 or more times, it’s time to seriously consider the benefits of toenail surgery.
A lot of people can be put off by the costs involved with toenail surgery but think of it this way – the costs involved in repeatedly treating infections with antibiotics & over the counter products, plus continually seeing your Podiatrist for continued bouts of ingrown toenail infections – the costs can add up.
Ingrown toenail surgery is a permanent solution and you can be back to normal life after a couple days rest. With a few follow up redressing appointments and monitoring from your Podiatrist, your ingrown toenail woes will be a thing of the past.
