mobile69 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Could anyone recommend a chiropodist please. I've got an ingrowing toenail developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlofwindermere Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I do a bit of running and get quite a lot of ingrown toenails. I usually just go to Ram hospital and for about 900 baht, they snip all the edges of my toenails - no pain and I'm walking right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll hop a long to a hospital - was thinking there might be specialist chiropodists. I guess not, or none that TVers know about. What healthy feet most have.

Maejo Man Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 As suggeted, the Chiangmai Ram will fix the problem, and if it's been left for a while and seriously in growing, they will give you a local, and tidy it up for you. The Thais have the right idea by not wearing restrictive footware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thais have the right idea by not wearing restrictive footware. I wear sandals all the time but still managed to get a pretty nasty ingrown nail on my big toe. Swollen, red and painful. Went to the Loi Kroh clinic and he gave a local and used a scalpal to cut the side of the nail and pull it out. Cleaned it up and bandaged and good as new in a couple of days. I'm pretty careful now about trimming my nails because I read once you get one they have a tendancy to come back unless trimmed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty careful now about trimming my nails because I read once you get one they have a tendancy to come back unless trimmed properly. I wear sandals too. & that's why I've got the problem. Chasing after the dog as he got out the gate on my bicycle (me on the bicycle not the dog!!), I caught my big toe on the road. Eventually the nail fell off. Now as it's regrowing I'm getting problems. If I'd been wearing real shoes I'd be ok. Maybe I should sue the dog for liability. Anyone know a good lawyer. Mind you I'm probably responsible for the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
