I have been having a continuing problem with an ingrown toenail and it has become more than I can control on my own. Anyone know of a podiatrist in the Chiang Mai area?

My big toe thanks you if you can help.

I wish you happy hunting on this journey. I know of the pain BUT my wife was able to dig and cut the critter out, after stuffing socks in my mouth and putting masking tape over it.

This has been covered many times. They don't have a Podiatrist in C.M.

there is a German guy I his name is Dirk Weeber - he opened a Podiatrist center in Chiang Mai a while ago. They had an article about the center in the local English publication

This is what I found on the net - according to their website they do treat ingrown nails

The Podology Center

Branch 1: 399/208 Moo 3, Siriporn Garden Home 9, Chiang Mai-Doi Saket Rd., Chiang Mai

Branch 2: 49/90 Ngamwongwan Rd., Soi 54 (1st junction), Ladyao, Chatuchak, Bangkok (near Kasetsart University).

089-633 8586, 053-038084 or 029-410414 for more information or visit www.mft-thailand.com.

Don't know if this is of any help but there is a "foot doctor" specialising at Ram hospital ( 4th Floor ).

May be of some assistance or guidance.

Good luck.

Cheers.

These people are not Podiatrists! One of them has been misrepresenting himself as being a doctor when they are only a spa-like facility. The same guy was also pretending to be a customer and hyping the place here on thaivisa. I wouldn't go there for treatment if it was the last place on earth. Use caution.

Seconded. Very professional, and excellent treatment. And no, I am not a plant or in any way connected with the Podology Center. Just a satisfied customer.

Okay Guys.. I am going to go check it out for you all and for myself.. Having the same such pains from time to time.. guess it is part of getting older.. Other ails as well. at coming soon to be a BEATLES 64... The long and winding road is paying its toil on this "baby boomer" body.. No Thai wife or girl friend who gives a rats ass about me.. so I have to do all on my own..

I just have not met the right one or a honest one.. I guess my standards are just too high to settle for a brain dead non English speaking un-articulate woman who has at least a masters degree in something other than spending falong money to be able to share a good meal with.. I have had so many of these Thai girls over the past 17 years and they all are still 27-32.. which makes the first one back in 1994 only 44 to 49 today,, Not what we all seem to want or go for.. Ever since I was 30 years old (34 years ago...) I have dated and bedded 27-32 year old Thai girls just out of them black and white uniforms from Far Eastern U..... It just never changes.. Had a nice really good looking Thai girl of 32 (the magical age we all love to play with) from FEU do it for me once when the right toe was getting out of control but paying for her and her two kids by some loser Thai husband who fled her scene years ago was not going to keep her doing the toe forever,,

I will go check the place out and try to report back if I can find this thread again...wow.. what challenge..

Huhhhh???....maybe Jack posted after having had a few too many????

If you can push a tiny piece of cotton wool under the nail in the corner and lift it, the pain will be relieved. Leave it in there for a few weeks and your nail will grow out. The benefits outweigh the initial discomfort of getting the cotton wool wedged in the corner and lifting the nail.

I"ve been a patient of Dirks's for over two yeas. He does not have a spa. He has done serious work on my feet. All satisfactory.
