Why does my foot hurt bad after it got the ingrown toenail removed by a doctor befour the nail even grew all the way back a sharp pain?

Follow up: With the doctor who performed the procedure. Sometimes, there may be a piece of nail that was not removed, other times a cyst may of developed where the procedure was performed.

Permanent procedure: If a permanent removal procedure such as matrixectomy or a phenol and alcohol procedure is performed appropriately the recurrence rate is relatively low.

Residual nail : When toe pain persists after ingrown toenail removal, I am suspicious whether a nail spicule was left. Even the best doctor can sometimes miss a small nail fragment. Another possibility is infection, either of the skin or underlying bone. Either way, have it checked by your podiatrist...Don't play doctor.
