Ingrown Toenail Surgery​

What Is

Ingrown Toenail Surgery

An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, and sometimes infection. If left untreated, it can become severely infected or lead to complications, especially in diabetic patients. At KosmoPlus, Dr. Ankit Shah provides safe and effective ingrown toenail surgery to remove the infected part, relieve pain, and prevent recurrence.

It includes nail edge removal, full nail extraction (if required), and root treatment to prevent future ingrowth.
