The surgical procedure for removing an ingrown nail involves removing a small portion of the side of the nail and destroying the nail bed beneath. Numbing medication is injected into the toe, and a new, straight nail edge is created by cutting the toenail. To make a permanently thinner nail, the cells under the nail must be destroyed since they try to grow a new nail. A toenail must be surgically removed if it has excessive tissue (hypertrophied). Toes are bandaged for a few weeks until they have completely healed. 📲 949-588-8833 🌐 www.ocfootdoctor.com
