When i went to a foot doctor for my ingrown toenail he cut the ingrown piece out and used a chemical ti kill the nais. now my other toe nail is also growing it so i was wondering what chemical do doctors use to kill it, because i cut the nail like my doctor did but it keeps growing back and is ery painful. P.S. i read online thea they use Phenol, which is 77% carboxylic acid, if this is true does anyone know where to buy it?What solution can be used to kill nails?
In the history of nail removal - 2 components are used commonly - phenol and 100% ethanol.
Both are toxic to cells - phenol is more damaging.
Phenol isn't commonly available because it is so toxic.
As far as self-application. Putting it on the nail won't help. It has to be applied on the 'nail matrix' where the nail is growing and forming. This involves a surgical procedure.
Got back to the Podiatrist and get the other nail treated.
