Ingrown Toenail Surgery

Ingrown toe nail is a condition where the side margin of nails starts to grow inside the skin rather than growing straight. Thus, the nail eventually damages the skin, opening the chance for ulcer and recurrent infection to occur.

Our toenails usually do not grow too much in length. But as they grow, there are chances that, instead of increasing straight, they will grow or curve sideways and will grow into the skin at the side of the nails. This leads to the formation of an ingrown toenail or onychocryptosis. This is most commonly seen in the big toenail.
