Suggest Treatment For Painful Growth On Toe

I have a growth on my fourth toe of my right foot. This growth has been scrapped to the bone 3 times and it keeps returning. My podiatrist has suggested that I remove the top portion of the toe. Does this sound like good advise? The pain is with me all the time. Sheets on the bed hurt this toe. Is this an easy operation?
