Ive been suffering with ingrown toe nails for years, is there a safe and effective way to permanently remove them?
A- An ingrown toenail may be removed, but unless the nail matrix is destroyed, the nails will grow back. A common procedure among podiatrists, the Phenol Matrixectomy, is the application of an acid solution to destroy the nail matrix. Another procedure is surgical excision of the matrix, which is also effective in permanently removing ingrown toenails.
