Considerations
What would happen if left untreated?
An ingrown toenail generally does not resolve without intervention. They continue to be painful and they can become infected. Any infection if left untreated can become serious and life-threatening, resulting in septicaemia.
Surgical correction of an ingrown toenail is a procedure to remove the ingrown portion of the nail and prevent it from regrowing. It is typically recommended for people who have severe or recurrent ingrown toenails that do not respond to conservative treatment. The procedure is usually performed in a clinic treatment room or outpatient surgical centre and can be done with local anaesthesia. There are several different surgical techniques for correcting ingrown toenails, and the best option for you will depend on your individual situation. A consultation will be required.
