Ingrown Toenail Clermont Florida

 Permanent Ingrown Toenail Removal Step by Step Explained by Dr. McGowan

There is a simple in office procedure that can be performed. We numb the affected toe and then remove the offending border or borders with special instruments. It is simple and effective. There is after care of soaking and keeping the toe covered with antibiotic cream and band aid for about 2 weeks.

Don't wait until it gets too bad to get in. We only take a small portion of the ingrown nail. So in most cases you can barely tell you even had this simple in office procedure performed! Once the nail is ingrown there are not too many things you can do for yourself at home to make this better. Call your foot doctor and get in right away! At the Center for Ankle and Foot Care we have same day appointments available! Our Clermont podiatrists are in the office every weekday Monday thru Friday.  Leesburg podiatry office appointments on Tuesday and Thursdays. 

Curious how we get the toe numb?

Dr. Michele McGowan PodiatristWhenever I give an injection in the foot I tell patients, "think happy thoughts." Mainly because some people do great with the shot and others do not. It is a quick shot and the payoff of getting the shot to get your problem fixed is huge! We have placed this video here so you know what to expect if you have an ingrown toenail and what the shot is all about.
