“…For this reason, it is one of the most commonly used treatments in recurrent epistaxis and in the chemical destruction of granulomas associated with stomas, catheters, and also umbilical granulomas in newborns. 15,16 Furthermore, due to its bactericidal effect, it is also used in skin infections, as well as in the prevention of infections in burns. 17 In children, it is usually used widely in other pathologies, such as pilonidal disease and dental caries, without any serious adverse effects having been described.…”

Background: Partial onychectomy with chemical matrixectomy is considered the gold standard treatment for stage II-III ingrown toenails (IT). However, there are scarce reports describing the use of silver nitrate in IT management in adolescents. Our aim is to analyze the effectiveness of matrix ablation with silver nitrate and compare it with partial onychectomy by electrocautery.Methods: A retrospective study of adolescent patients with stage II-III IT was performed. Those who underwent electrocautery matricectomy in a major outpatient surgical center (Group A) and those who were treated with silver nitrate at an outpatient clinic (Group B) were compared. Efficacy was determined by recurrence and postoperative infection rates.Results: Two hundred and nine patients were included (86 group A; 123 group B), with a total of 382 partial onychectomies (151 group A; 231 group B). Group B patients exhibited a lower recurrence rate (4.7%) when compared to group A (11.2%, p = .02), and had a lower postoperative infection rate (4.0% group A vs. 1.7% group B; p = .18), although not statistically significant. Conclusion:Silver nitrate chemical matricectomy after partial onychectomy is an effective treatment for IT in adolescents, with few postoperative complications and low recurrence rate. Therefore, it should be considered as a possible alternative to electrocautery matricectomy.

“…The most common and first line treatment option is topical application of silver nitrate, although there is a risk of chemical burns to the periumbilical area [6,7,8]. Other techniques are equally effective, and they include salt application, double-ligature technique, cryosurgery, and surgical excision.…”

After birth, remnants of the umbilical cord should separate spontaneously from the neonate within 1-2 weeks. However, in certain instances, following separation, a small red or pink moist bump forms in a neonate’s umbilical stump known as an umbilical granuloma. Treatment options include the application of silver nitrate, salt application, double-ligature technique, cryosurgery, and surgical excision. We present a 7 week old male with an umbilical granuloma treated with the double ligature technique using an absorbable suture with the disappearance of the lesion at a 1 week follow up visit. The ligature technique is one of several methods used in the treatment of umbilical granuloma. Although non-absorbable silk sutures are commonly used for this technique, absorbable sutures can be used for lesions with a narrow stalk.
