IGTN: Yes if the germinal tissue or cells that grow the nail is removed or 'burnt' there is a great chance of permanent cure.

Generally: However, some practitioners will not perform a permanent matrixectomy (the procedure to correct ingrown toenails) if the toe is infected. Like any procedure, there is a risk of recurrence.
