20 year old patient attends my clinic with a severe ingrown toe nail and a granuloma (have posted attachment, hopefully you can see it).
GP referred and was just prescribing NSAID's and antibiotic topical cream! I removed the offending nail and destroyed the nail matrix. At this point I must point out that I am a biomechanical pod who deals with 98% biomech cases..but this guy was in so much discomfort something had to be done asap.
I was hoping the granuloma would reduce, scab over and ultimately fall off!
The picture is 1/12 post op and still only mild reduction in size. No pain now but still discharging an bleeding! He lives a fair distance away and do not want to ask him to drive up for me just to ponder the situation.
Can anyone help or advice please
