Suggest Treatment For Ingrown Toenails And Numbness On Toes
I had ingrown toenail clippings removed from both of my big toes. They are not supposed to grow back. I still have numbness in the top of my toes and now blisters on both sides of the lower part of my toes. I have pierced them to release the liquid. What should I do?

Hi. Ingrown nails can be very troublesome. Just clipping the nail wont get rid of the problem. Dermatologists perform a procedure called nail matrix phnolization where they apply 88% phenol to the nail matrix (nail root). It destroys the part of nail matrix responsible for ingrown nail and you get complete relief. Consult a dermatologist.
