Aftercare and Recovery
After treatment, patients will receive detailed instructions on how to care for their toe to facilitate healing and prevent recurrence. This may include soaking the foot, applying an antiseptic, and dressing the area properly. Recovery typically involves minimal downtime, and patients can often resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
Follow-up visits may be recommended to monitor healing and ensure the toenail is growing correctly. With proper aftercare, most patients experience a full recovery and relief from symptoms.
