Considering that it is a recurrence, you will have to undergo a repeat nail removal but this time you may also have to undergo elevation of the nail bed and also requires burning of the edges of the nail bed so that regrowth of the curved nail bed does not happen.

No ointment or cream. Start believing doctors when surgery is required no one get it done . When not required ppl ask for surgery. That’s the irony in present conditions. Everything apart that decision to be made by patient who is suffering decision from doctor is made of u have pain u need to get it done. If I can manage , manage until u can
