[Daegu Ingrown Toenail] I heard this can’t be treated, but can it be corrected? Case of correction treatment for a rolled ingrown toenail

• If a toenail has curled up and become deformed into a circle, can it be straightened out again?
• In some cases of ingrown toenails, the tip of the nail curls severely inward, becoming deformed as if a piece of paper had been rolled up.
• Because the shape of the toenails is severely deformed, many people think that treatment is impossible or that the only solution is to pull them out.

Is it possible to treat ingrown toenails in Daegu without touching the painful toenail?

• My toenail hurts so much that I feel like I’ll cry if it gets touched even slightly.
• "Can it be treated even in this condition?" If inflammation caused by an ingrown toenail becomes severe, the area around the nail swells and becomes sensitive, which can cause extreme pain even from minor irritation.
• It is difficult enough to wear shoes or walk, but the thought of having to handle painful toenails for treatment can make visiting clinic itself frightening.

I have an ingrown toenail in Daegu that is bent at a 90-degree angle. Can it really be straightened?

• If an ingrown toenail persists for a long time, it gradually curls further, and the edges of the toenail may bend at almost a 90-degree angle.
• In particular, many people worry about whether correction is possible if the toenail is bent not just at the tip but also close to the root.
• The case I am introducing this time did not look severe on the outside, but it was a case where pain occurred because the toenail was bent from near the root.

[Daegu Ingrown Toenail] Toe inflammation that hadn’t healed for years; the cause was an ingrown toenail. A real case showing the difference after correction.

• When inflammation occurs in the toes, causing them to swell and turn red, the first thing people try to do is treat the inflammation itself.
• You disinfect the area and apply ointment, or take antibiotics if the inflammation is severe.
• Of course, if an infection is present, treatment for it is necessary.

I just trimmed my toenails a little shorter, but they suddenly hurt so much. Is it an ingrown toenail?

• “I trimmed my toenails a little short, and a few days later, my big toe suddenly started hurting a lot.” This is a story frequently heard from patients with ingrown toenails.
• Those who have a habit of cutting their toenails short are especially puzzled.
• I've always cut it to this extent, and it's been fine so far.

Why does my ingrown toenail keep recurring after surgery in Daegu? The reason it hurts again even after cutting the toenail.

• There are people who visited clinic because of ingrown toenails and underwent surgery to cut off part of the toenail that had grown in.
• At Roe Plastic Surgery, we rarely recommend surgery from the start.
• This is because although pain may subside immediately after surgery as the painful edge of the toenail disappears, the same spot often becomes painful again after a few months as the toenail begins to grow back.
