Ingrown Toenail Spike Removal part 2 of 2

Ingrown toenails affect around 5% of people, and podiatrists are the best health care professional to treat them. The causes and severities vary, and there are different treatment options available depending on this. This is the 2nd part of a 2 part series of videos on removing an ingrown spike of toenail. The first video covered the whole procedure, and this particular video is a detailed walk through. Remember to watch the first video (rated 18) and then this one will make more sense.

I remember when I was in my younger years I would get really horrible ingrown toenails, it got so bad on both feet i had to get nail avulsions on both, really appreciate the work of foot doctors you guys are great

[@thelondonpodiatrist]

Thank you! Glad your toes were fixed. We take our feet for granted and realise how important they are when we have a problem with them. Take care and all the best 🙏

[@sebastian-gz2fr]

i currently struggle with this , watching this makes me realize i should care about my ingrown nails, having surgery once i think i need another

[@thelondonpodiatrist]

Glad the video helped you! Pop in to your local podiatrist sometime for some tailored advice. 💪

[@jenniferdavies8672]

Fantastic that you explain everything so we can understand what you are doing sorry we didn't actually get to see the procedure getting done or was that the first video we watched thanks enjoyed listening to you and getting more understanding of what happens 😊

[@thelondonpodiatrist]

Thanks very much. Looks like you found the first video afterwards 😎

[@julierawlins5984]

background music too loud

[@thelondonpodiatrist]

Appreciate the feedback 🙏

Why did you opt to not perform a permanent procedure and kill the offfending nail section?

[@thelondonpodiatrist]

Hi, good question. It was the first occurrence of the problem for this patient and was caused by a spike of nail left by bad nail cutting. There are different causes of ingrown toenails but ones caused by spikes usually settle quickly once the spike is removed. The spike was removed which should return the toe back to its usual state. If problems persisted, I would then have suggested a partial nail avulsion. The procedure I performed should settle the nail in a few days, but a partial nail avulsion would take a few weeks to heal. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks.

How do you develop ingrown toenails? How can you prevent it in the first place?

[@thelondonpodiatrist]

There are a few different possible causes of ingrown toenails, like cutting the nail badly and wearing tight shoes. I will be making a video on this in the coming weeks, so look out for it! Thanks for the comment 😎

[@youil.]

And always wear shoes that are a little bigger that your foot

[@thelondonpodiatrist]

Yes, shoes that are too tight in the toe boxes will in crease pressure to the sides of your nails and encourage an ingrown nail 🙌

[@user-ql3ku5eu4x]

U can have the nail bed removed surgically .Or theres a procedure performed laser treatment destroys the area where the nail embeefs itself

[@deborahgalvan5367]

[@thelondonpodiatrist]

Hi! I've just updated the description to include a link to the first video. But, here's the link for you... th-cam.com/video/ePoNG_TSed8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-hMR-53CB9xaZnOY
Thanks for the comment and hope you enjoy the first video!

[@user-ql3ku5eu4x]

Wesring ill fitted shoes too tight.Toes press together .Not trimming the nail properly.U should keep cuticlestrim and pushed back so the nail can grow outward instead of growing into the flesh.Thats technique I do works for me.I dont think I could withstand the hurtful pain from an ingrown toe nail or finger nail.

[@nomobo1778]

A little lees talk, and a little more action.

[@thelondonpodiatrist]

Lol, it sounds like you might enjoy part 1 more. Part 2 is meant to be a discussion and detailed walk through with lots of talking

[@natachasheldon7763]

You talk too much

[@thelondonpodiatrist]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to figure out a way to give a detailed explanation without talking as much 🙌
