Can anybody recommend a good doctor to talk to about an ingrown nail?

I've been suffering from it for a long time, and have had surgery on other toes some years ago for the same problem. About 6 month ago I went to Patong Hospital, where they cut off a piece of the nail, but now that it has started to grow back, the syptoms seem to come back.

I could go to the hospital again, and have them perform a slightky bigger surgery, but as I know the pain and recovety time after, I hope to find some alternatives.

EDIT: It is of course a FOOT doctor I'm looking for, but I cant edit the title.

I had something similar done at outpatients at Phuket International Hospital - Everything OK since (Touch Wood)

There is no Podiatrist in Phuket. I've looked. all foot surgery stuff is usually preformed by a surgeon or the ER doctor

I got mine treated by a doctor in outpatient dept in Mission Hospital. He cut pretty much the whole nail off and sorted the problem for me with some discomfort but not much pain if I remember correctly. Can't remember his name, sorry, but he's a young chap with glasses.

I have been told that this specililty is covered by the orthopedics in thailand.

Thanks.

in that case, can anybody recommend a good orthoped (or what it's called)?
