Hi. I would like to present a video that I made on the topic of non surgical ingrown toenail removal. Being one of very few podiatrists in Israel, and one of the few of us that deal with ingrown toenails to such a large degree, I have a unfortunately seen a lot of mismanaged ingrown toenails. Even a lot of my patients who have been to other podiatrists internationally, it seems that there is a lack of willingness or perhaps ability to deal with ingrown toenails more moderately than nail surgery and more thoroughly than mere removal of a small nail spike. Very often I feel that the practitioner goes straight for nail surgery with phenolisation, when a more moderate approach is available. For example, when dealing with someone who is suffering for the first time with an ingrown toenail, there is not necessarily a need to jump into nail surgery ( unless of course there is clearly a nail structure deformity that would make it clear that it’s going to recur). But on the other hand one wants to remove enough of a section to ensure as much as possible that the patient has piece and quite for as long as possible. Also, we all know the patient that comes into us and their first words are “ I hate needles “. Very often patients tell me that the treatment that I did on them hurt even less than the local anesthetic injection that they had previously at another podiatrist.

I also think that this video can be good for junior podiatrists starting out, who still need to develop their technique.
There is an introduction of about 7 minutes and then my demonstration starts at minute 7:15 about.
