Overgrown granulation tissue, also known as proud flesh, refers to excess new tissue that forms during the healing of a wound. While granulation is a normal part of recovery, when it becomes excessive, it may interfere with proper healing or signal chronic inflammation. This is a common complication of an ingrown toenail, where the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing irritation, infection, and abnormal tissue growth.
If not addressed early, overgrown granulation tissue from an ingrown toenail can lead to:
- Persistent pain or pressure
- Chronic infection
- Difficulty walking or wearing shoes
- Delayed wound healing
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin. This condition is most common in the big toe and can be caused by improper trimming, tight footwear, trauma, or genetic predisposition.
Common symptoms include:
- Redness and swelling
- Pain and tenderness along the nail edge
- Drainage or pus (if infected)
- Overgrown granulation tissue from ingrown toenail
This condition can worsen quickly without treatment, especially if overgrown tissue begins to obstruct normal nail growth.
An overgrown granulation tissue consultant service provides expert medical evaluation and guidance for patients experiencing excessive tissue growth around wounds or ingrown nails. In the context of ingrown toenails, the service may include:
- Visual inspection via telehealth or photo analysis
- Infection risk assessment
- Wound care and dressing recommendations
- Treatment options: conservative, surgical, or laser
- Nail trimming and footwear advice to prevent recurrence
Experts may include podiatrists, wound care specialists, dermatologists, or general physicians.
Addressing overgrown granulation tissue caused by ingrown toenail involves controlling inflammation, preventing infection, and restoring proper nail alignment:
- Topical Treatments: Steroid creams or silver nitrate to reduce tissue overgrowth.
- Antibiotics: For bacterial infection if present.
- Nail Bracing or Trimming: To lift and redirect the nail edge.
- Surgical Removal: In severe cases, partial nail avulsion or tissue excision may be required.
- Laser Therapy or Cauterization: For persistent or recurring granulation tissue.
Early consultation helps avoid chronic discomfort, infection, and nail deformity.

I am Emma Thompson, 42 years old, living in Manchester, United Kingdom.
A few months ago, I developed a small ulcer on my leg due to type 2 diabetes. The wound initially seemed simple, but after about 6 weeks, it started growing a bright red, moist mass of tissue that protruded far above the skin surface – doctors called it overgrown granulation tissue (hypergranulation).
I tried everything:
My family doctor prescribed silver sulfadiazine cream and hydrocolloid dressings, but the granulation tissue continued to grow aggressively.
I tried asking ChatGPT and other medical AIs – they only gave general information like “keep the wound clean, avoid pressure, may need surgical removal.” There was no specific guidance suitable for my leg, which already had mild swelling and poor circulation.
A friend advised me to use scar cream and medical-grade honey, but after 2 weeks of use, the granulation tissue grew even larger, became more painful, and leaked more fluid.
I began to panic because the wound was not only failing to heal but also making it difficult for me to walk, and I feared a more serious infection.
One evening, while scrolling through Instagram, I saw a post from a diabetes support group in the UK. A woman in the group shared that she had been consulted by a wound care doctor from the US via StrongBody AI, and her chronic ulcer had improved significantly after just 3 weeks. She left the link strongbody.ai.
Curious, I registered that same night. It took less than 5 minutes: fill in email, confirm OTP, and select the fields “Wound Care” and “Diabetes Complications.” The system automatically suggested several suitable experts.
I chose Dr. Michael Reyes, a plastic surgeon and wound care specialist in Los Angeles, USA. He has over 14 years of experience treating chronic wounds in diabetic patients and is particularly skilled at handling hypergranulation tissue.
I sent a private request along with a photo of the wound and a detailed description of the symptoms. Only 4 hours later (despite the time zone difference), Dr. Reyes replied with a very warm voice message; his voice was clear and professional. Thanks to the AI Voice Translate feature of StrongBody AI, I could hear standard English without needing to read subtitles.
He asked a few very specific questions:
How has my recent blood sugar fluctuated?
Am I taking any immunosuppressants or steroids?
Is the location of the granulation tissue being rubbed when wearing shoes?
After I replied, he immediately sent a detailed offer at a very reasonable price (only about 1/3 of the cost I would have to pay if I went to a private clinic in the UK).
The plan he proposed:
Stop the silver sulfadiazine cream immediately (as it could stimulate granulation tissue).
Switch to hydrofiber silver dressings combined with Mepilex Border to control moisture.
Use a low-dose local injection of Kenacort (triamcinolone) to inhibit granulation tissue proliferation – he provided very careful instructions on dilution and injection techniques.
Wear pressure-relieving orthopedic shoes (he suggested specific types of shoes and where to buy them in the UK).
Control blood sugar more strictly and supplement with Vitamin C + Zinc according to the dosage he prescribed.
What surprised me the most was that on the 3rd day after starting the treatment, the granulation tissue began to flatten visibly – something I hadn't dared to dream of 2 months prior.
After 3 weeks, the wound had flattened almost level with the skin surface, it was no longer leaking fluid, and I could walk normally again.
I am truly grateful to StrongBody AI. Thanks to this platform, I was connected directly with a real, experienced doctor from the US, rather than relying solely on AI or overworked local doctors. The service price was very affordable, communication was smooth thanks to the voice translation tools, and most importantly, I was listened to and given specific advice according to my exact condition.
Now, whenever friends or relatives in the UK ask about chronic wounds or proactive healthcare, I recommend they use StrongBody AI. This is truly a wonderful solution for those who need quick, high-quality expert opinions without having to wait months at public hospitals.
Thank you StrongBody AI very much!
I am Sophia Laurent, 38 years old, currently living in Toronto, Canada.
Everything started with a small cut on my right thumb while I was gardening last summer. Because I have had type 1 diabetes since childhood, the wound seemed minor but was incredibly slow to heal. After about 5 weeks, instead of closing, it began to grow a bright red, swollen layer of tissue protruding nearly 4-5mm above the skin surface – dermatologists call it overgrown granulation tissue (hypergranulation). It wasn't very painful but it was itchy, bled easily whenever accidentally touched, and most importantly, it prevented the wound from healing completely.
I tried everything:
- My family doctor prescribed topical antibiotics and moist gauze dressings, but the granulation tissue grew even more aggressively after 10 days.
- I went on Canadian diabetes forums, asked ChatGPT, and even used Perplexity and Claude – they all just gave general advice like “keep it dry, use silver dressing, may need electrocautery or surgical removal.” No one asked specifically about my blood sugar levels (which always fluctuated between 8-12 mmol/L), the fact that I use an insulin pump, or that I work in an office and have to type constantly with my right hand.
- A friend advised using Manuka honey and Comfeel dressings, which I tried for 3 weeks – the result was that the granulation tissue became larger, dark red, and started to have an odor.
I was really panicking at that point. I was afraid of the infection spreading, afraid of surgery to remove the tissue, and my work as a designer required heavy use of my right hand.
Then one afternoon, while scrolling through TikTok during my lunch break, I saw a short video from another Canadian girl sharing her journey of healing a chronic ulcer thanks to connecting with a doctor through StrongBody AI. She captioned it: “Not an AI chat, but a real doctor, real consultation, and much cheaper than private exams.” I clicked the strongbody.ai link immediately.
Registration took only 3 minutes: email, OTP, and selecting interests in “Wound Care” and “Diabetes Foot & Hand Complications.” The system immediately suggested several experts. I chose Dr. Elena Vasquez, a plastic surgeon and wound specialist in Miami, Florida, USA. She has over 16 years of experience treating hypergranulation in diabetic patients, and her profile clearly stated she often handles “tough” cases that local doctors often overlook.
I sent a private request with 4-5 close-up photos of the wound (before and after dressing), a detailed description of symptoms, my blood sugar history for the last 2 weeks, the type of insulin I use, and the fact that I have to type for 6-8 hours a day.
Only 7 hours later (despite the time zone difference), Dr. Elena replied with a very gentle voice message in a warm Latin tone. Thanks to the Voice Translate feature of StrongBody AI integrated within Multime AI, I could hear her clearly in English without needing to read text. She asked exactly what no one had asked before:
- Is the location of the granulation tissue being constantly rubbed while typing?
- Have I used silicone protective gloves while working?
- What time of day does my highest blood sugar usually occur?
After I replied, she sent a very detailed offer with a price about 40% of a private wound consultation in Toronto.
The plan she proposed:
- Stop all silver-based dressings immediately (as silver stimulates granulation tissue proliferation in some patients).
- Switch to a hydroactive paste (applied thinly) combined with Mepitel One (a non-adherent contact layer) and Mepilex Border Lite to control moisture just enough without being too wet.
- Use a micro-dose of Kenalog (triamcinolone acetonide) 10mg/ml injected locally (0.1-0.2ml); she provided precise instructions on dilution with lidocaine and a shallow injection technique to avoid skin atrophy.
- During the day, I must wear a silicone gel finger protector while typing (she recommended a specific type sold on Amazon Canada).
- Increase the basal insulin dose in the afternoon to pull blood sugar below 9 mmol/L.
What shocked me most was that after only 48 hours of following the instructions, the granulation tissue began to soften and flatten visibly – I took comparison photos and couldn't believe my eyes.
After exactly 18 days, the wound was completely flat, with only a slight faint mark left, and no more protruding granulation tissue. I can type comfortably without fear of bleeding or pain.
I truly thank StrongBody AI from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to this platform, I was connected directly with a real doctor in the US who truly understood my condition instead of just giving general advice like AIs. The price was reasonable, communication was friendly and seamless thanks to the voice translation tool, and most importantly, the advice was extremely specific and timely – exactly what I needed to get through the most dangerous stage.
Now, whenever anyone in my circle of friends or colleagues in Canada asks about slow-healing wounds, skin complications from diabetes, or simply wants proactive health advice, I tell them: “Sign up for StrongBody AI, you will meet a real doctor, not a machine.” This is one of the best tools I have ever used for personal healthcare.
Thank you very much, StrongBody AI!
I am James Carter, 51 years old, living in Sydney, Australia.
I have had type 2 diabetes for over 15 years, and everything started from a small scratch on my right ankle while I was repairing a bicycle in the garage last March. Due to poor blood circulation, the wound did not heal but instead grew a bright red, moist mass of granulation tissue, protruding about 6–7mm and spreading to the surrounding area. The doctor called it overgrown granulation tissue – hypergranulation. It was not only unsightly but also painful and stinging whenever I wore shoes, and I feared that if left for too long, it would lead to a severe infection resulting in amputation.
I tried every possible way:
- A local dermatologist prescribed topical mupirocin antibiotics and alginate dressings, but after 4 weeks, the granulation tissue grew even larger and leaked yellow fluid.
- I asked friends and joined diabetes groups on Facebook – everyone advised using medical honey or topical steroid creams, but after 2 weeks of trying, the condition worsened; the granulation tissue became edematous and began to have a foul odor.
- I chatted with several free medical AIs (ChatGPT, Gemini, and even an app specialized in wounds) – they just repeated “keep dry, reduce pressure, may need cauterization or excision.” No one asked about my HbA1c (which was 9.2% at the time), the fact that I was taking metformin + insulin glargine, or that I had to stand for 8 hours a day at a mechanical workshop.
I started to get really worried. Every evening when I came home and looked at the wound, I felt hopeless.
Then one morning, while drinking coffee and scrolling through LinkedIn, I saw a post from a former colleague – he shared that he had been helped by a wound care doctor from the US to heal a chronic ulcer thanks to the StrongBody AI platform. He wrote: “Not an AI chat, but a real doctor, detailed consultation, and the price is only half of a private exam in Australia.” I clicked the strongbody.ai link right then and there.
Registration was very fast, requiring only an email, OTP confirmation, and selecting the fields “Wound Care” and “Diabetic Complications.” The system automatically matched me and suggested several experts. I chose Dr. Sarah Nguyen, a vascular surgeon and wound care specialist in Houston, Texas, USA. She has 18 years of experience, specializes in handling hypergranulation in diabetic patients, and her profile clearly stated she often works with cases involving poor circulation accompanied by severe tissue overgrowth.
I sent a private request with photos (before/after dressing changes) and a full description: the location of the wound, symptoms (itching, fluid discharge, pain when walking), my most recent HbA1c, the medications I was taking, and the fact that I had to stand for long periods, putting constant pressure on my ankle.
Only 5 hours later (despite the large time zone difference), Dr. Sarah replied with a very clear voice message; her voice was warm and professional. Thanks to the AI Voice Translate feature in StrongBody AI, I could listen smoothly in English without interruption. She asked exactly the key questions:
- Do you have leg edema in the afternoon?
- What was your last ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurement?
- Do you use medical compression stockings, and if so, what type?
After I answered (and sent an additional photo of my ankle blood pressure measurement), she immediately sent an offer at a very reasonable price – only about 1/3 of the cost of an intensive wound consultation in Sydney.
The plan she proposed:
- Completely stop all dressings containing silver and alginate (as they stimulate overgrowth in some patients).
- Switch to a foam dressing with a silicone border (Mepilex Border) combined with a thin application of gentian violet to control the granulation tissue and reduce fluid secretion.
- Inject triamcinolone acetonide 40mg/ml diluted locally (dose of 0.2–0.3ml); she provided detailed instructions on shallow injection, the injection site, and the follow-up schedule.
- Mandatory use of a custom offloading boot (she recommended a specific type sold in Australia and how to order it online).
- Adjust the basal insulin dose by increasing 4–6 units in the morning to pull blood sugar below 8 mmol/L before meals.
The most memorable moment was on the 4th day: I woke up, changed the dressing, and saw the granulation tissue had flattened by nearly 50%, it was no longer protruding, and the fluid had significantly decreased. I took a photo and sent it to her, and just 20 minutes later she replied with a voice message praising the progress and slightly adjusting the second injection dose. That timeliness made me trust her completely.
After 3 weeks, the wound was completely flat, leaving only healthy pink new skin, with no granulation tissue remaining. I can walk normally, wear shoes comfortably, and have returned to the workshop with confidence, without worrying about infection.
I am truly grateful to StrongBody AI. Thanks to this platform, I was connected directly with an excellent doctor from the US – someone who truly understood my condition, rather than just general advice from an AI or an overworked local doctor. The service price was affordable, communication was friendly and seamless thanks to the voice translation tool, and the consultation was extremely accurate and personalized to each of my symptoms.
StrongBody AI is like a global bridge, gathering thousands of experts from all over the world, always ready, high quality, reasonably priced, and so easy to use that anyone can access it.
Now, whenever anyone in my family or circle of friends in Australia asks about diabetic wounds, granulation tissue, or just wants proactive healthcare, I tell them: “Sign up for StrongBody AI, you will meet a real doctor, not a computer.” This was one of the best decisions I ever made for my health.
Thank you StrongBody AI from the bottom of my heart!
