Abstract: Ingrown toe nail also known as onychocryptosis is a common nail condition that occurs due to curling of the side of the nail into the periungual dermis. Management options range from conservative treatment like gutter splint technique to extensive surgical approaches dictated by the severity and the stage of the condition. This case study is an attempt at explaining that homoeopathy can bring about a cure even in some surgical conditions. This case shows a marked improvement with no recurrence.
