• Ingrown toenails are a painful and common
  condition where the nail grows into the skin,
  seriously impairing foot activities and quality
  of life. When toenails keep curling and piercing
  the skin, they may require surgical intervention,
  making it red, swollen, and tender. Fortunately,
  there are various podiatry clinics that provide
  private ingrown toenail surgery in London. If you
  are going for the procedure, there are some
  things to consider beforehand. Here's a guide to
  knowing when you should get this type of surgery.
• Conditions Indicating a Need for Ingrown Toenail
  Surgery
• Persistent Pain and Swelling
• Persistent pain and swelling that remain
  resistant to home remedies is one of the main
  signs that you need ingrown toenail surgery. One
  should immediately consult a podiatry or
  chiropody doctor if the discomfort and swelling
  last longer than a few weeks. Only surgical
  extraction can mitigate persistent pain, a major
  indication of firmly embedded nails in the skin.
• Walking or Performing Daily Activities is
  Difficult
• Conservative treatments are clearly insufficient
  if ingrown toenails start interfering with your
  ability to walk, exercise, or carry out daily
  tasks. Private surgeries can give you
  long-lasting comfort, so you can resume regular
  activities without pain, hypertrophy, oedema, or
  bleeding. If your nail is thick and pressing deep
  into the skin, a total nail avulsion through
  surgery can greatly enhance your quality of life.

• Abnormal Nail Shape
• Clinics that offer private ingrown toenail
  surgery in London prefer to remove part or all of
  your toenail if it does not improve. Naturally
  bent or thicker nails are more likely to become
  ingrown, increasing the severity of symptoms.
  Surgery may be a potential solution if your nail
  persistently causes ingrown despite good nail
  care. Surgical techniques can permanently change
  the nail's morphology or remove a section of the
  nail matrix. This can prevent future recurrence,
  providing a long-term remedy.
• Recurrent Infections
• Ingrown toenails also cause infections, forming
  redness, pus, and increased discomfort
  surrounding the toe area. Surgery may be required
  if you have recurring infections, irrespective of
  applying antibiotic ointments and practicing good
  foot hygiene. Recurrent infections can have more
  serious consequences, such as cellulitis or
  abscess formation, necessitating more
  comprehensive treatment.
• At The Harley Street Foot and Nail Clinic, we
  provide ingrown toenail surgeries, nail
  avulsions, and insurance coverage. This procedure
  is essential when pain, recurrent infections,
  difficulties with everyday activities, an
  irregular nail shape, or underlying health issues
  are present. Our foot clinic provides immediate
  medical attention, which can help you avoid
  prolonged discomfort and significant foot health
  problems later on.
