A painful ingrown toenail (Onychocryptosis) can severely impact your mobility and quality of life. At Dr. Kumar Skin & Laser Clinic, Jamshedpur, we offer specialized, permanent solutions that range from advanced conservative management to precise minor surgical procedures. Our goal is to provide immediate pain relief, resolve any infection, and prevent future recurrence, restoring your foot health and comfort.
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of your toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. It most commonly affects the big toe and may worsen without timely treatment.
If you notice any of the following, seek treatment promptly:
Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA) removes the offending nail edge, followed by Matrixectomy (root removal) to permanently prevent recurrence.
Methods for mild-to-moderate cases without severe infection, including proper nail cutting techniques, warm Epsom salt soaks to reduce swelling, and topical antibiotic creams.
Using soft padding to relieve pressure and pain, or specialized splinting to gently guide the nail growth away from the inflamed skin.
Low-Level Laser is used to reduce localized inflammation, pain, and promote healing without the need for surgery.
Follow-up sessions to monitor healing and detailed home care guidance to prevent future issues.
