Can a podiatrist remove toe nails?

Yes, a podiatrist can remove toenails. Podiatrists are medical professionals who specialize in the foot, ankle, and related structures. They are qualified to perform a variety of procedures, including toenail removal. Toenail removal may be necessary for a variety of reasons, such as an ingrown toenail, a fungal infection, or a traumatic injury. Podiatrists typically use a local anesthetic to numb the area before removing the toenail. The nail is then carefully removed using a variety of instruments. In some cases, the podiatrist may also need to remove part of the nail bed. After the toenail has been removed, the podiatrist will clean the area and apply a bandage. The foot may be sore for a few days after the procedure, but most people recover quickly.
