The treatment of ingrown toenail complicated with granulation tissue is usually partial or total nail avulsion with or without matricectomy. It costs loss of occupational power, however, because most patients cannot go to work or school for some time after surgery, and it is a costly and uncomfortable procedure for most patients.
This study aimed to find an easy, painless, and inexpensive alternative.
Seven patients with ingrown toenails complicated with granulation tissue are included. A small apparatus was applied on the nails, granulation tissue was chemically cauterized, and a foot bath was recommended twice daily. They were followed on a weekly basis or every other week until recovery. None of the patients received systemic treatment.
All seven patients were completely cured without requiring surgery and/or systemic treatment. The procedure did not have any effect on their daily life. The follow-up examination of the patients at 6 months revealed that they were totally cured, and there were no recurrences.
Patients with ingrown toenails complicated by granulation tissue might have an inexpensive and pain-free treatment alternative, although new studies with more patients are required.
嵌甲合并肉芽组织的治疗通常是部分或全部拔甲，可伴有或不伴有甲床切除术。然而，这会导致工作能力丧失，因为大多数患者术后一段时间无法上班或上学，而且对大多数患者来说，这是一个昂贵且不舒服的过程。
本研究旨在寻找一种简单、无痛且廉价的替代方法。
纳入7例嵌甲合并肉芽组织的患者。在指甲上应用一种小型器械，对肉芽组织进行化学烧灼，并建议每天进行两次足浴。每周或每隔一周对患者进行随访，直至康复。所有患者均未接受全身治疗。
所有7例患者均完全治愈，无需手术和/或全身治疗。该过程对他们的日常生活没有任何影响。对患者进行6个月的随访检查发现，他们已完全治愈，且无复发。
嵌甲合并肉芽组织的患者可能有一种廉价且无痛的治疗选择，不过需要更多患者参与的新研究。
