What Is Ingrown Toenail Removal?

Ingrown toenail removal is a minor in-office procedure where the portion of the nail growing into the skin is carefully removed. This relieves pressure, reduces pain, and allows the surrounding tissue to heal.

It is one of the most effective treatments for moderate to severe ingrown toenails, especially when pain, swelling, or infection is present.

When Ingrown Toenail Removal Is Needed

Ingrown toenail removal is recommended when:

• The toe is painful, swollen, or red
• There is drainage or signs of infection
• The nail continues to grow into the skin
• The condition keeps recurring
• Walking or wearing shoes becomes uncomfortable

How We Treat Ingrown Toenails

At Premier Foot & Ankle, Dr. Edward Sharrer focuses on fast pain relief, precise removal of the ingrown nail edge, and long-term prevention options when needed.

MadaJet® Needle-Free Anesthesia:
We may use the MadaJet® system to deliver lidocaine without a traditional needle, helping numb the toe comfortably and quickly before treatment.

Partial Nail Removal (Avulsion):
The ingrown portion of the nail is carefully removed to immediately relieve pressure and pain while allowing the area to heal properly.

Onyfix® Nail Correction System:
Onyfix® is a non-surgical nail correction system that gently guides the nail into a healthier growth pattern over time. It is especially helpful for patients with curved or recurring ingrown toenails who want to reduce future episodes without repeated procedures.

Permanent Ingrown Toenail Treatment:
For chronic or recurring cases, a procedure may be performed to treat the nail root on the affected side to reduce the chance of the ingrown nail returning.

Infection Management:
If infection is present, treatment may include cleansing, drainage when necessary, and post-procedure care to support healing.

What to Expect During Treatment

Ingrown toenail removal is performed in-office and typically takes a short amount of time. After numbing the toe, the ingrown portion of the nail is removed and the area is cleaned and dressed.

Most patients experience immediate relief from pressure and pain once the nail edge is removed.
