Ingrown toenail removal in Kyiv

How to recognize an ingrown toenail?

An ingrown toenail (onychocryptosis) is a condition where the edge of the nail plate cuts into the lateral roller. Most often, this problem occurs on the big toe and can occur in people of any age.

The main symptoms of an ingrown toenail include:

Redness of the skin around the nail.

Pain when pressing or walking.

Swelling and edema in the area of ingrowth.

Discharge of pus or blood (in case of infection).

Darkening and deformation of the nail plate.

Symptoms directly depend on the stage of the ingrown nail:

Stage 1. Slight redness, slight swelling and discomfort when pressed. The nail is not visually changed yet.

Stage 2. Deterioration of the condition — severe swelling, pain, discharge of blood or pus. The nail becomes dull and loses its healthy appearance.

Stage 3. The inflammatory process spreads to bone tissue. The growth becomes chronic and requires surgical intervention.

If you notice these symptoms, do not delay your visit to a podiatrist. Early treatment will help to avoid complications.

Causes of ingrown nails

Onychocryptosis can occur for various reasons. The main factors include:

Improper nail cutting. Cutting too short or rounding the corners of the nail can lead to ingrown nails.

Uncomfortable shoes. Tight shoes or high-heeled models put pressure on the toes, which leads to nail deformation.

Genetic predisposition. If there were similar problems in the family, the risk of their occurrence increases.

Injuries and deformities of the foot. Fractures, flat feet and other disorders can contribute to ingrowth.

Overweight or pregnancy. Increased stress on the feet can also cause deformation of the nail plate.

How is the ingrown nail removed in the SEIZÓ salon?

In the SEIZÓ studio, ingrown nail removal is performed without pain and surgical intervention. The procedure is performed by a podiatrist and consists of the following steps:

Disinfection. The work area is disinfected to prevent infections and inflammation.

Preparation. Using a special instrument — a curette — the podologist gently removes dead tissue. This allows you to free the ingrown edge of the nail, reduce pressure on the soft tissues, and prepare the nail plate for further processing.

Removal. The specialist corrects the contour edge of the nail plate and removes the ingrown fragment.

Anti-inflammatory treatment. Anti-inflammatory agents are applied to the wound to relieve swelling, redness, and accelerate its healing.

Tamponading of the lateral rollers. The final stage of ingrown toenail removal is the placement of a special soft nonwoven material — capolin. It acts as a shock absorber, lifting the ingrown edge, preventing further pressure on the skin, and protecting the inflamed area from irritation.

After the ingrown nail removal procedure, the podiatrist provides recommendations for preventing the problem from recurring.
