10. Seek Professional Help
In certain situations, it may be too painful to trim the toenail by yourself. In this case, you’ll need to visit a medical professional for a minor surgical procedure, to remove the ingrown toenail. The process is typically painless and requires a local anesthetic. The anesthetic numbs the affected area while the professional cuts out the section of an ingrown nail.
A Nail Wedge Resection (NWR,) provides permanent removal of the ingrown toenail. The procedure doesn’t remove the entire nail and takes a few minutes to complete on-site, in the medical professional’s practice. Some patients may be very reluctant to have the procedure, but the ingrown nail won’t go away by itself.
Aftercare is an essential part of the recovery process. Aftercare treatment ensures the nail bed does not become infected during the healing period. Stay committed to your daily soaking process, and use the “ultimate ingrown toenail serum.” Continue treatment every day until the inflammation subsides and the skin heals.
