WHAT IS TOENAIL REMOVAL?

Toenail removal is a procedure to remove a curved, ingrown or infected toenail due to severe or recurrent mycosis. Not all cases require removal, but it may be necessary if you suffer from frequent ingrown toenails or if you have a complication from an infected toenail.

BENEFITS OF TOENAIL REMOVAL

Nail removal can prevent infection, decrease the pain of an ingrown toenail and help the nail heal from an injury. The entire nail (avulsion) or just part of the nail (debridement) may be removed, depending on the case.

If you want to avoid future infections by preventing the nail from growing back, the nail matrix can be destroyed by applying a chemical to the cuticle area after the nail plate has been removed.

TOENAIL REMOVAL PROCEDURE

For nail extraction, we place anesthesia to prevent pain. We then loosen the skin surrounding the nail (nail folds) and separate the nail from the skin using an instrument placed under the nail. If only part of the nail is affected, only the affected part will be removed.

Complete healing takes 2 to 3 weeks but does not interfere with most activities. If the entire nail is removed, the body will generate a layer of hard skin in its place. After the skin covers the sensitive area, you can return to your normal activities.
