FIRST AND 2. STAGE TREATMENT
Although simple measures and drug applications taken in the first and second stages, that is, in cases where the granulation tissue has not yet developed, may regress the disease, the likelihood of recurrence and increase in complaints without benefit is quite high.
Measures that can be taken during the initial period of the sinking process;
Correction of incorrect shoe selection,Not to damage soft tissue during nail cutting,Cleaning the area with antisepticsApplication of ice to the swollen and reddened areaResting the feet by raising themAntibiotic applications in cases where the infection has been detectedAbandonment of unconscious tampering habits in the stinging zoneLosing weightStaying away from traumas that cause illnesssuch measures can be taken. During infancy, simple measures often work, and for stings caused by pregnancy, the termination of the process is sufficient for the regression of complaints.
REQUIRING SURGICAL APPLICATION 3. and 4. THE CURE OF THE UNIVERSE
In these stages, surgical application is often the only option. The success of the surgical practice, on the other hand, requires a good definition of the disease and effective and adequate surgical practice.
Nail Staining Treatment should not prevent job loss and self-care. With local anaesthesia, the operation is completed in a short period of 5-10 minutes without any pain.
A small incision removes the partial nail which creates a stinging on the nail.The resulting hemorrhagic granulation tissue is completely cleaned.In terms of preventing recurrence, a 2.3 mm portion is removed from the root region that produces the nail that causes stinging, and the process is completed to obtain a perfect aesthetic image without putting any stitches.In the studies carried out, it has been proven that this is still the most correct method. Surgical intervention procedures should only be performed by physicians who have received their surgical expertise.
It is a great benefit not to contact people who are called under stairs, who promise to heal patients with procedures that cause constant repetition and carry great risks for the treatment of occlusion in places where health conditions are not taken into account. Please make sure that the person who will treat you is a doctor.
