For persistent or severe nail problems, such as ingrown or thickened fungal nails, routine care may not be enough. In these cases, minor nail surgery can provide a permanent solution and lasting relief.

At The Mobile Podiatrist, we carry out nail surgery under local anaesthetic, ensuring the procedure is safe and pain-free. Depending on your needs, this may involve removing part of the nail (partial nail avulsion) or the entire nail (total nail avulsion).

Your appointment includes:

• A full assessment to confirm suitability for surgery
• Administration of local anaesthetic to fully numb the toe
• Removal of the affected nail section or whole nail
• Application of a chemical to prevent regrowth where necessary
• Dressing and aftercare advice to support healing

Nail surgery is highly effective for resolving repeated ingrown nails or painful thickened nails that do not respond to routine care.

If you are struggling with a painful or recurring nail problem, book a consultation today to discuss whether nail surgery is the right option for you.
