Greetings. Just surgical removal of the entire nail may not be the answer for ingrowing type nail. It's important to do surgical treatment called lateral nail avulsion with nail matrix ablation so as to prevent the nail from growing along the sides and folds. Warm regards. Further queries may be sent on follow up messaging.
