Medical Same-day where suitable
Thick, yellow, lifting, painful or ingrown nails have a cause, and most can be returned to healthy nails with the right diagnosis and, where needed, a small procedure.
Nail fungus is tested before it is treated, psoriasis and eczema of the nail are recognised, and ingrown nails get a definitive procedure rather than repeated cutting.

An ingrown toenail happens when the nail edge grows into the skin beside it, usually from cutting the corners or tight footwear. It becomes painful and infected and rarely settles on its own once established.
Nail infections spread to other nails and to the skin, ingrown nails get repeatedly infected, and some nail changes signal conditions elsewhere that need attention.
The process
Examination of all the nails and the surrounding skin, with a clipping sent for fungal testing when needed.
Depending on the cause:
An ingrown nail procedure takes about thirty minutes, with a dressing for a week or two. Fungal nails take six to twelve months to grow out clear.
A healthy nail, and for ingrown nails a permanent solution where the troublesome edge is removed.

Who treats you
Dermatologist and aesthetic medicine practitioner. Founder.
MCT registration available on request
I am a dermatologist and aesthetic medicine practitioner, and my work is about three things: healthy skin, natural beauty and a better quality of life for every patient, through care grounded in evidence. My clinical practice covers the diagnosis and management of skin, hair and nail conditions, alongside advanced aesthetic treatments planned around each patient.
The toe is numbed first. You feel pressure, not pain, and can walk out afterwards in open footwear.
Please do not. It usually makes the next regrowth worse and introduces infection.
Yes. Months of tablets for a nail that is not fungal is a waste, and the test takes a few days.
Usually, once the healthy nail has grown through. Nails damaged by old injury may keep a ridge.
For advice, yes. Testing and procedures are in person.
