I have ingrown toenails on both large toes. My Podiatrist has recommended that I have a procedure which will hopefully relieve the pain I have. I've been putting it off for months, but finally decided to go ahead with it.
I'm not particularly fond of the idea of the numbing jabs, but what does concern me is the possibility of infection setting in after the procedure. He has given me a Rx for an antibiotic to be started two days prior to the procedure and for 7 days after. Also, what will keep the remaining portion of the nails from trying to grow curved and causing another ingrown nail?
