Ingrown Toenail — Permanent Solution

Stop trimming corners. End the cycle.

Recurring ingrown toenails won’t be fixed by bathroom surgery. A 15-minute procedure under local anaesthesia permanently solves the problem in the vast majority of cases.

Why it keeps coming back

Once the nail edge has scarred its fold, every regrowth digs in again. Removing a sliver of the nail root (matricectomy) breaks the cycle permanently — done under local anaesthesia, walking out the same hour.

How Dr. Mohit Prajapati treats it

  1. 01

    Acute infection care

    Dressings, antibiotics where needed, and correct trimming technique.

  2. 02

    Partial nail avulsion with matricectomy

    The definitive fix — removes the ingrowing edge and prevents regrowth, leaving a normal-looking nail.

  3. 03

    Diabetic-safe protocols

    Ingrown nails in diabetics need specialist care — never home treatment.
