What Is a Nail Removal Procedure?

Nail removal is a medical procedure to remove a damaged, infected, or abnormal nail. Evaluation ensures the procedure is necessary and performed safely, with proper pain management and follow-up care.

What We Review During Your Visit:
  • Nail condition including infection, trauma, or abnormal growth
  • Pain, swelling, or signs of infection
  • Medical history including bleeding disorders or systemic conditions
  • Recommendations for nail removal method and post-care
  • Guidance on preventing recurrence and maintaining nail health

In-home evaluation allows timely assessment of nail conditions and prepares for safe nail removal if needed. UrgentCare2Go® helps patients:

  • Determine necessity and safest method for nail removal
