Specializes in Podiatry

Complete resolution?: If you have systemic disease, diabetes, clotting disorders, malignancies, etc., consult with your GP. If it is an ingrown nail, is it infected? Your doc may start you on soaks and/or antibiotics. Part of the nail is under the skin, and grows from the matrix. In many situations the portion is removed surgically in the office, and a chemical applied, destroying it. Be aware that it may return.

Podiatrist: You may wish to see a podiatrist who may be better equipped to address your issue. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
