Nail Surgery in Leicester
Precision Care, Lasting Relief – Nail Surgery at The Health Suite Leicester
The Health Suite Leicester provides specialised nail surgery services to treat a wide range of nail conditions, including ingrown nails, fungal infections, and chronic nail deformities. These procedures, performed under local anaesthesia, offer a safe and effective solution when non-surgical treatments have not provided relief. Our expert team of podiatrists and healthcare professionals ensures precise, targeted interventions while prioritising patient comfort and safety throughout the process.
Nail surgery at The Health Suite Leicester is conducted with the highest standards of care, adhering to strict safety protocols to minimise the risk of infection and complications. Patients can expect a thorough consultation and assessment before surgery, where our specialists discuss the best treatment options tailored to their specific needs. The surgery itself is designed to be minimally invasive, with local anaesthesia ensuring that patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.
After the surgery, comprehensive aftercare is provided to support the healing process. This includes wound management, advice on post-operative care, and follow-up appointments to monitor recovery and prevent recurrence. Whether addressing a painful ingrown nail or a chronic fungal infection, our team at The Health Suite Leicester is committed to ensuring a smooth recovery and lasting results.
Nail surgery is often considered when more conservative treatments, such as topical treatments or conservative trimming, have failed to address the underlying condition. By removing part or all of the affected nail, this surgical option offers a long-term solution to persistent nail problems. With a focus on personalised care and patient well-being, The Health Suite is dedicated to providing the highest quality treatment in a compassionate and professional environment.

Symptom checker
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please book an appointment with us. Symptoms can vary from person to person and from condition to condition.A proper diagnosis can only be made through a thorough medical examination.
Our clinicians will carry out a full assessment to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
Do you have repeated pain along the edge of your toenail?
Recurring pain at the side of the nail may indicate an ingrown toenail where the nail is growing into surrounding skin, often requiring surgical correction.
Do you experience redness, swelling, or tenderness around the nail?
Inflammation around the nail fold can suggest an ingrown toenail, which may worsen without treatment and lead to infection.
Do you have pus, bleeding, or signs of infection around your toenail?
Infected ingrown nails can produce discharge, increased pain, and swelling, often requiring partial nail removal to resolve the cause.
Does pressure from shoes make your toenail pain worse?
Pain triggered by footwear pressure may indicate nail edge penetration into the skin or thickened/deformed nails causing irritation.
Have you had repeated ingrown toenails in the same toe?
Recurrent cases often suggest the nail matrix is continuing to grow incorrectly, which may require phenol-based nail surgery for long-term relief.
Is your toenail thickened, damaged, or difficult to manage?
Severely thickened or distorted nails can cause ongoing discomfort and may not respond to conservative care alone.

Our team of experienced GPs and healthcare professionals provide personalised diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions, ensuring high-quality, professional care in a comfortable setting.
Click below to view useful info on a few of the common conditions we treat:
Ingrown Toenails (Onychocryptosis)
Nail surgery removes the offending section of nail to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and treat the underlying cause of ingrowth effectively.
Recurrent Nail Infections
For repeated infections caused by ingrown nails, partial nail removal can eliminate the source of irritation and reduce recurrence risk.
Chronic Nail Pain & Pressure Discomfort
Surgical correction helps relieve ongoing pain caused by nail edges pressing into surrounding skin or footwear pressure.
Nail Deformity or Thickened Nails
When nails become distorted or thickened, partial or total nail removal may be used to restore comfort and prevent further complications.
Permanent Ingrown Toenail Correction (Phenolisation)
Phenol application may be used after nail removal to prevent regrowth of the problematic nail edge, reducing long-term recurrence risk.
