Ingrown Toenail Treatment in Gangnam — Big Toe Pain, Inflammation & Discharge

Ingrown Toenail Treatment in Gangnam

Big Toe Pain, Inflammation & Discharge

All Treated at One Clinic

A patient came to us suffering from an ingrown toenail that had grown into the skin, causing big toe pain, inflammation, and even discharge (pus).

As the ingrown toenail continued to grow deeper into the skin, it kept irritating the wound site, leading to inflammation and bleeding as well. The patient reported significant discomfort and pain.

Before taking their driver's license exam, the patient visited our clinic — Gangnam Standard Orthopedic Clinic near Gangnam Station — to have the ingrown toenail surgically treated and resolve the pain.

We are a clinic specializing in ingrown toenail surgery with a focus on preventing recurrence. We welcome patients who have experienced a relapse after prior surgery, and patient satisfaction following our procedures is consistently high.

These are the small nail fragments removed from both sides of the nail during surgery. Hard to believe that pieces this small were causing so much distress by burrowing beneath the skin.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so there is no surgical pain — please don't worry. With an accurate diagnosis and precise surgical technique, the ingrown nail was removed with the goal of preventing recurrence, and the patient left feeling much relieved.

The patient mentioned they had a driver's license exam just two days after the surgery. They returned two days later for a dressing change and reported that the big toe pain from the ingrown toenail was completely gone, allowing them to head to the exam without any difficulty.

Dr. Jo Ju-won at Gangnam Standard Orthopedic Clinic performs ingrown toenail surgery with accurate diagnosis and treatment, aiming to prevent recurrence. Ingrown toenail surgery is a recognized medical procedure and may be eligible for National Health Insurance (NHI) coverage, so please don't be too concerned about the cost.
