Sorted quickly and gently. Wish I had not put it off for so long.
Third time it had come back. They looked at why rather than just fixing it again.
Quick, and showed me how to cut them properly so it does not happen again.
Routine treatment is usually not painful. Where a procedure is needed, local anaesthetic is used and your podiatrist will explain it first.
Digging at the nail edge tends to make it worse and risks infection. It is straightforward to treat properly.
