Before an ingrown-nail appointment, note how long symptoms have lasted, previous procedures and products used. Describe the toe when booking and ask how to prepare. Do not cut deeply down the painful side beforehand.
What do we discuss at the appointment?
✅ Individual care. We choose nail care after assessing the nail plate and surrounding skin. We also discuss follow-up and care at home.
✅ Hygiene. At the practice we use sterile instruments and follow hygiene protocols.
Appointments take place at the practice at ul. Żmujdzka 49 in Kraków.
✅ Communication. Please agree the appointment language — Polish, English or German — when booking.
Pus, increasing swelling or fever require medical assessment. If you have diabetes and an ingrown toenail, consult a doctor. Avoid tight shoes and cutting down the sides of the nail yourself.
