Nail avulsion

Nail avulsion is a medical procedure in which a damaged or injured fingernail or toenail is carefully removed. This is often done to treat severe trauma, infections, or fungal issues affecting the nail. The process involves numbing the area with anesthesia, then gently lifting and removing the damaged nail to allow for healing, infection control, or further treatment. Post-procedure, the nail bed is monitored and cared for to promote healthy nail regrowth. While it may cause some discomfort, it helps address underlying problems and can improve the overall health of the finger or toe.
