For many people, ingrown nail surgery is the recommended option, and home remedies are good for relieving symptoms and pain, but they are rarely beneficial as a long-term treatment option.
These days it gets really hard to deal with the little things, but with neglect it gets really bad. Fungusclinic understands the problems you face with your hectic schedule and the fungus eating your nails. That’s why we offer a medical pedicure that removes all dead cells from your feet and prevents the growth of fungi. The specialty of our medical pedicure is to use a mild natural disinfectant instead of plain water. Only the part that needs attention is treated in this way. This pedicure method reduces the possibility of wounds and injuries, and the use of antiseptics ensures that fungal diseases are not spread.
Ingrown toenails often form due to abnormalities in the anatomy of the toe and toenails, and it is a usually inherited condition. The anatomy of the toe and nail bed makes an ingrown nail almost certain for some people, with short-term treatments that alleviate the problem but rarely correct the condition for a long time.
In such cases, ingrown toenail surgery is required to remove the offending portion of the nail to prevent it from growing into the skin. The splinter is removed from the nail, which extends from the tip to the base. This instantly relieves pressure on the skin and stops pain and swelling. However, to ensure that the condition does not return, part of the nail bed is destroyed. Destruction is usually carried out by chemical means, since phenol is one of the most widely used agents. With the nail bed partially damaged, an ingrown nail is unlikely to return.
But even this treatment may not be sufficient, with procedures periodically repeated for some people. In such cases, many seek more rigorous surgical intervention. A technique dating back to 1959 that targets the toe itself, not the nail. Vandenbos is not commonly performed, and only a few surgeons perform the highly invasive and destructive surgery. The nail is left completely intact, however, and a portion of the toe is removed on each side of the nail. While the toenails will look healthy and perfect, the procedure removes a large amount of tissue, which may take a few weeks to heal and can be very uncomfortable.
This technique has proven to be very effective; However, the invasive nature has been criticized for leaving the finger open for a dangerous infection. More than 600 patients benefited from the treatment without recurrence. However, the procedure appears a bit barbaric and will take much longer to fully recover from simple chemical cauterization of the nail matrix.
