Answer:

Injection of phenol to the matrix prevents regrowth of the nail causing the severe ingrown nail.

Explanation:

An ingrown toenail usually develops when the nail plate's position in the lateral nail groove is altered. Most common factors include <u>incorrect cutting of nails, poor foot hygiene, excess external pressure, and inappropriate footwear.</u>

Matrix phenolisation, also known as partial matrixectomy, involves applying <u>88% liquefied phenol</u> (distilled water as solvent) to the lateral matrix after removing the altered nail segment. Concentrated phenol is known to  have <u>antiseptic and escharotic</u> activities. It prevents regeneration of the matrix by denaturing of its contents and soft tissue proteins.
