Ingrown toenail treatment
Conservative treatment for a painful nail — the offending spike removed, the nail edge cleared and dressed. Most people walk comfortably again the same day.
Evenings until 8pm (+£10) · next-day usually possible
What this actually is
An ingrown toenail is a small thing that hurts out of all proportion. A splinter of nail has grown into the flesh at the side of your toe, and every step drives it in further. People put up with it for months, dig at it themselves, and make it worse.
In most cases it does not need surgery. It needs someone with the right instruments and the right training to remove the offending spike, clear the nail edge, and dress it properly. That is what this appointment is. Most people are walking comfortably again the same day.
If it is infected, I will tell you and help you get antibiotics. If it keeps coming back — and for some people it does, because of the shape of the nail — then nail surgery is the permanent answer, and we will talk about it. But we try this first.
What is included
- The offending spike of nail removed
- The nail edge cleared and the area dressed
- An honest view on whether it will recur
- Advice on cutting and footwear so it does not
- Help getting antibiotics if it is infected
No call-out fee. That is the price at your door.
Who this is for
Anyone with a painful nail edge. Do not dig at it yourself — that is how they get infected.
Book ingrown toenail at your home
I will ring or text to confirm, usually the same day. Nothing is charged now and nothing is booked until we have spoken.
Would you rather just ring?
Plenty of people would, and that is completely fine. If you would rather explain it out loud than type it into a box, ring me.
Call 07359 729115When I work
Monday to Friday
9.30am – 2pm
5pm – 8pm (+£10)
Next-day appointments can usually be arranged. Ring before 2pm.
Paying
Card or cash at the appointment, or online beforehand if you prefer. Nothing is taken now, and the price is the same either way.
Two of you at home?
A second person at the same address is £50. Mention it in the box and I will allow the time.
Not sure this is the one?
Then do not agonise over it — that is genuinely my job, not yours. Book an initial consultation and we will work it out together, or ring me and ask.
Initial consultation & foot assessment
Your first visit. I take a full history, examine your feet properly, and treat what I find on the day. You will not be asked to book again just to get the treatment you came for.
Foot health treatment
The everyday appointment most people come back for: toenails cut and tidied, corns removed, hard skin and callus reduced, cracked heels treated. One booking, whatever your feet need on the day.
Diabetic foot assessment & care
A thorough check of circulation and sensation, careful nail and skin care, and a written record you can show your GP or diabetes nurse. Regular monitoring is how small problems stay small.

Nail surgery
For a toenail that keeps coming back. A minor procedure under local anaesthetic at your home, with the phenol treatment that stops it regrowing. £395 all in — £50 at the consultation, the rest only if you go ahead. All follow-ups included.
