The 3 biggest concerns of patients visiting us for ingrown toenails:

1. Pus from ingrown toenail

2. Ingrown toenail infection

3. Ingrown toenail surgery

A toenail that grows into the surrounding skin can cause foul-smelling pus, infection, and significant pain. After a consultation at our orthopedic clinic, many patients choose to proceed with ingrown toenail surgery.

Rather than performing unnecessary procedures, we focus on accurately identifying and addressing the root cause of the ingrown toenail — because proper removal is the key to preventing recurrence.

A patient came to our clinic after searching for an ingrown toenail clinic online. They were quite anxious before the procedure — so nervous, in fact, that their leg was visibly sweating.

Our doctor began the local anesthesia and periodically pressed on different areas to check the level of numbness, confirming that sensation in the big toe was gradually reducing.

The patient asked to be informed just before each injection, so our team walked them through every step of the process at a comfortable pace throughout the ingrown toenail surgery.

The patient's big toenail had fallen off four months earlier due to an ingrown toenail and had regrown — yet the pain had not gone away.

This is why proper ingrown toenail surgery was necessary.

Accurately identifying and removing the underlying cause is essential to preventing recurrence.

After seeing the removed ingrown toenail fragment, the patient remarked that they had been in tremendous pain and was somewhat surprised by how small the extracted piece actually was — it had been hiding beneath the skin all along.

They also noted that the anesthetic injection was not as painful as they had feared, and that there was less bleeding than expected.

Because ingrown toenail is a recognized medical condition, treatment costs may be covered by national health insurance as well as private supplemental (실손) insurance.

We hope you find relief from the pus, infection, and pain that have been troubling you — and that you can return to exercise and daily activities without the discomfort that has been holding you back.

Despite their small size, these fragments can cause intense pain and must be removed.

At Gangnam Standard Orthopedic Clinic, we are committed to providing treatment aimed at preventing ingrown toenail recurrence.
