Ingrown Toenail Removal in Southaven, MS
Board-certified foot and ankle care from Michael G. Lyons, DPM and Robert Wenzler, DPM at our Southaven office — 928 Goodman Road East.
An ingrown toenail is one of the few foot problems we can usually fix completely in a single visit. The toe is numbed, the offending border of nail is removed, and most patients walk out with immediate relief. For nails that keep coming back, we treat the nail root so that border never grows in again.
- Same-week appointments — often same-day for infected toes
- The toe is fully numbed before anything is done
- Permanent border removal (matrixectomy) for recurrent nails
- Infection treated at the same visit when present
- Extra care for diabetic patients, where ingrown nails cause serious infections

Ingrown Toenail Removal in Southaven — common questions
Does ingrown toenail removal hurt?
The numbing injection stings briefly. After that you feel pressure but not pain, and most patients say the relief afterward is dramatic compared with what they walked in with.
How long does it take to heal?
Most people return to normal shoes and activity within a few days. A permanent border removal takes 2–4 weeks to fully close over.
Should I try to cut it out myself?
No — bathroom surgery is the most common cause of the infected toes we see, especially in patients with diabetes. It also usually leaves the spike of nail behind.
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare, and can usually see new patients within the same week.
