Suggest remedy for toe pain
Patient: hello sir, one of my toe is in a bad shape it pains a lot. It seems like the end of the nail has pierced into to the skin or flesh causin a lot of pain while walkin . This is been happening from 3 months. I m not able to remove the nail, even though i remove it wit great pain it occurs after some weeks. Wat is the best treatment so that i would not occur in future? Doctor: Hello,  The symptoms are suggestive of a condition called ingrown toe nail. Surgical excision of the extra nail will be the treatment of choice.  Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. Nothing much to worry as it is a simple procedure and can be done under local anaesthesia.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family physician
