For an ingrown toenail that's been problematic for two years and is now painful, you should consult a podiatrist or a general surgeon for toenail removal surgery. Recovery can take four to six weeks if part of the nail is removed, and 10 to 12 weeks if the entire nail is removed. The cost of the procedure can range from ‚Çπ2,500 to ‚Çπ15,000 in India
