Hi I am Sonali, suffering from Ingrown toe nail problem for past 3-4 years. So last Oct11, both my toe nails were removed as I had developed infection. But after the surgery again I have developed the same problem in my right toe as my nails are grown. Can you suggest some remedy please.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Definitive treatment for the ingrown toenail is the surgical correction. Once corrected ingrown toenail never recurs. I suspect that your previous surgery was not properly conducted. This is the reason why the toe once again is ingrown. I advise you to again visit the nearby doctor to get it surgically repaired. Please apply polypoid ointment over it as it can prevent infection. Such an infection may obstruct the surgical procedure. Maintain good hygiene at toenail by cleanliness at the nail site. For this dip the nail on hot normal saline for few minutes there after clean it with napkin with pressure. This will clear the dry on the angle of the nail. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
