Ingrown toenail
Hi. I had ingrown toenail which led to swelling and pain. I consulted a surgeon who completely removed it. The nail has now grown again, and im facing the same problem. My toe is swollen and it hurts. I went to the same surgeon, who suggested that the permanent solution would be burning the nail bed so that the nail doesn't come back. I need a second opinion because my mother doesn't agree the permanent nail removal.

We don't burn the nail bed. We do partial nail avulsion and cauterisation. It is a simple procedure. This will solve your ingrown toenail problem. Please call me and visit my clinic for proper examination and treatment.
