Surgical Treatment of Ingrown Toenails 

“Ingrown toenail” is a condition in which the nail plate of one or more toes, mainly the feet, begins to grow in the wrong direction, causing mechanical irritation of the surrounding tissues and chronic inflammation, accompanied by varying degrees of discomfort. When a secondary infection is added to the inflammation, the symptoms worsen, with a secretion that dries into crusts and has an unpleasant odour. The causes of this condition are different – improper nail trimming, increased sweating of the feet, wearing uncomfortable shoes, chronic trauma in some sports, some nail diseases and many others.
