Treatment Options
Not every ingrown toenail needs surgery.
At ITTS Clinic, we assess each patient individually and discuss suitable treatment options based on their symptoms, nail presentation and goals.
No Two Patients Are The Same
Every patient and every ingrown toenail is different.
That’s why we take the time to understand your symptoms, concerns and treatment goals before recommending the treatment option that’s most appropriate for you.
Whenever appropriate, conservative treatment options are explored first, with surgery only recommended when it’s clinically necessary or likely to provide the best long-term outcome.
We focus not only on treating the ingrown toenail itself, but also on identifying contributing factors such as footwear, nail shape, trauma and fungal nail changes to help reduce the risk of recurrence.
