AB A  14-year-old  boy  presents  with  a  history  of  multiple  ingrown  nails  of  both  great  toes.  Today  his  right  big  toe  is  swollen  and  painful  (Figure  192-1).  He  has  a  2-week  history  of  pain,  redness,  and  swelling  of  the  lateral  nail  fold  of  the  right  great  toe.  Soaking  the  toe  in  Epsom  salts  has  not  helped.  A  partial  nail  removal  after  a  digital  block  was  successful.  The  nail  matrix  was  also  ablated  with  phenol  to  prevent  recurrence  of  the  ingrown  nail.
