Podiatrist Shares Stomach-Churning Video Footage Cutting Away Patient’s Thick Infected Toenails

Lovely August 29, 2019

Gruesome footage has captured a podiatrist cutting away at a patient’s overgrown toenails.

The unidentified patient had neglected their feet for years, causing their toenails to curl over on themselves. 

The stomach-churning clip saw Dr. Binh Nguyen using heavy-duty cutters to chisel through the thick nails.

Dr. Nguyen spent 25 minutes carefully chipping away at the patient’s nails, in the hope of making them look better. 

Dr. Nguyen, who works in Tampa, Florida, said: ‘I feel huge sense of relief and joy in helping patients like this.

‘Some patients don’t feel the process, but others, especially those with thick toenails do feel a bit of pain to the pressure applied.’

The 33-year-old added: ‘The longer and thicker the nails, the longer the process takes.’ 

Dr. Nguyen works at Healthy Feet Podiatry, a clinic that has 160,000 subscribers for its gory videos on YouTube. 

The channel’s most popular clip has amassed more than 14million views since it was published last year. 

Most nail problems are caused by injuries or biting your nails, according to NHS Choices.

Its advice page also says not regularly trimming your nails, or cutting them at an angle, can also cause problems.

Dr. Anton Alexandroff, consultant dermatologist and British Skin Foundation spokesperson, told MailOnline: ‘This video shows very long overgrown toenails that are likely to have a fungal infection.

‘Toenails this long making it very difficult to wear shoes. Even more importantly, overgrown toenails can cause abrasions to the skin which can serve as a port of entry for bacteria. 

‘Bacterial infections can make people feel unwell and may require drip antibiotics. It is important to trim toenails regularly. Fungal infections can be treated by your GP or dermatologist.’
