The ingrowing toenail
Ingrowing toenails (also known as onychocryptosis) are a common and painful pathological nail condition which, if left untreated, may lead to serious infection (Bostanci et al, 2001; Bostanci et al, 2007; Brearley, 1958; Weaver et al, 2004). This paper sets out to describe the aetiology, diagnosis and management of this common condition, focusing on the chemical ablation (phenolisation) technique.

Abstract

Ingrowing toenails (also known as onychocryptosis) are a common and painful pathological nail condition which, if left untreated, may lead to serious infection (Bostanci et al, 2001; Bostanci et al, 2007; Brearley, 1958; Weaver et al, 2004). This paper sets out to describe the aetiology, diagnosis and management of this common condition, focusing on the chemical ablation (phenolisation) technique.
