Hi

I have a patient who has had a total nail avulsion with destruction of matrix with Phenol 3x and each time a portion of it has regrown. The same procedure was performed on the other foot (1st nail) and was a success.
The procedure was performed by the patients GP at his local surgery, and as it has been unsuccessful the patients GP has now talked about amputation the toe as he does not feel another procedure would be beneficial!!!!
The patient has now come to me (Im seeing him shortely) wanting a second opinion as he quite rightly only wants amputation as a last resort.
Has anyone else come across a situation like this? I know occasionally regrowth happens, but as it was successful on the other foot, Im assuming it is more likely to be a failure in technique rather than the patient.
I wasnt aware that GPs even did this procedure themselves?
Any advice would be most welcome
Thanks
