Nail Tumor 16 (& Wolchulsan Daylily)

It is early summer.

Nail tumors appear in many different forms.

Even the diagnosis as a tumor is unfamiliar,

and treatment also mainly occurs at the nail root,

so there is a high possibility that surgery may cause root damage and nail deformity,

so surgery must be approached carefully.

Today, we will list various types of tumors

and study how they can be diagnosed.

They are divided into those located on the nail and those located under the nail.

If you send photos and text about questions regarding nails or toenails to the clinic inquiry phone (010-9682-1501),

I will give you an answer.

If you would like to visit, make a reservation with Tomorrow Clinic (02-3431-1500)

and come to the 4th floor of City Pharmacy, 100 meters ahead of Exit 4 of Jamsil Saenae Station on Subway Line 2.

*Closed every Thursday. Open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:20 p.m.

It is mainly located on the nail, and since the basis of the tumor originates from the nail root,

the goal is to minimize damage to the nail root and prevent nail deformity.

---

This is a case where the toenail is pressed and deformed due to the tumor.

---

In this case, the tumor root extends all the way to the joint.

Toenail deformity is unavoidable,

but it must be minimized through surgery.

---

This is a before photo.

It is a huge tumor under the toenail,

originating from the toe bone.

---

This is an after photo.

The toenail grew back straight after surgery.

---

There was a hangnail under the nail that had started 5 years ago, so the patient would periodically go to a clinic to have it cut off, and because it kept recurring, they visited our clinic.

After local anesthesia, it was removed vertically and lengthwise, and the biopsy showed it was squamous cell ca.

---

For 2 years, it was mistaken for athlete's foot and treated as such, but there was no improvement, so it was removed with a laser and the patient visited our clinic. After local anesthesia, partial resection was performed at our clinic.

The biopsy showed that it was keratoacanthoma, a type of cancer.

It is still a cool early summer.

Please take good care of your health,

and I hope you have happy days with the daylilies of Wolchulsan.
