Ingrown Toenail Surgery

An ingrown toenail is a nail that grows into the soft tissue next to the toenail, causing pain, inflammation, and sometimes infection. Ingrown toenail surgery is sometimes required to permanently remove part of the toenail.

A podiatrist is best trained to diagnose, treat, and prevent ingrown toenails in Australia. Our podiatrist Jeff completed his Honours research on the topic of ingrown toenails, receiving a distinction (2A), which qualified him to undertake a PhD without first completing a Master's degree.
