Ingrown nail
An ingrown nail occurs when the nail penetrates the skin, causing pain, inflammation and possibly infection. The main symptoms include redness, swelling and pain in the nail area, as well as possible discharge of pus. This condition can occur due to poor nail trimming, tight shoes or injury. Our service offers specialist treatments such as topical treatments, nail correction and in severe cases, micro-surgery, ensuring immediate relief and recovery. Ensure immediate pain relief, prevention of future complications and restoration of the health and aesthetics of your nails.
