Toenails suck!!!

[Sunk]

I occasionally get pretty minor ingrown nails and I can kinda feel when the edges get tender beforehand. When that happens, I just cut a little V out of the middle of the nail, and that seems to relieve a little pressure on the edges and it continues to grow without hurting. Sounds like yours was pretty bad though.

Right now I am fixing my Toe nail, that's right. Since I believe in Divine healing, I will trust in my faith and natural remidies.

Basically you cut your toenail down(and HOPE it cuts clean at the sides!!! or try again in a month!!! grow it till you can get a good cut at the sides it will let you know by the pain!) once you've done that, you let it grow and cut the nail deep at the center and letting the sides grow out.

All the meanwhile a plenty good dose of honey, this is to lube the skin that will be rubbing your toe nail. HONEY!

I've had a ingrown toenail for FOUR YEARS, and only until I used the concave cut and honey did I see MAJOR IMPROVMENTS. I have also increased my hours of sleep.

In my experimenting I've endured much pain, I can only describe it as a needle poking ya on every step.

I feel your pains guys...I've had ingrown toenails since I can remember...just hack them back and peel the skin from under the nail...clip the nail off and it's good for about two months...

Had a podiatrist do the nail once because I got that fungus crap in it from when we lived on a farm and used well water...hasn't been clear since...and now it grows about three times as thick on the end so I had to go buy a bigger pair of clippers...

Been thinking of just getting them pulled but they were such nice toenails before the well water...now they just look cloudy and I never go out without socks...for someone who spent nearly half their life barefoot, that is not easy...lol!

For some odd reason, I always seem to get an hang nail on my right toe, never the left. I've cut it out so many times, its just normal practice. And it usually doesn't come back until 1~2 months later. I just use a file with a curved hook on the end, and a sharp pair of curved nose scissors. Rinse tools and toe nail with alcohol (before and after cut). If pain exists, let alcohol soak into toe (numbs it).

And for all those that provoked him into showing that picture. . Like we all didn't need to see that.

I've had that problem a lot. Doctors supposedly deadened the edges of where it grows from but it grew back. I started taking the cotton from Q-tips and putting them under the front corners of the toenails to keep them from pointing into the skin with limited success. I finally cured it by letting the toenails grow out past the skin at least 1/8th inch. I've done this for about 15 or so years and have no more ingrown toenails. I do have trouble with the front corners of socks wearing holes in them but I'd rather buy more socks than deal with my toes ingrown.

Me too, I typically get down in there and remove the part of the toenail that goes down in there with a razor blade.

same here, i found two home made fixes one i tapered the nail so it would want to push the skin down as it grew and every few days i soak my foot till i got the "dead" skin to turn white and cut it off and kept lifing the nail after two mounts good as new kinda,

the second one i woulnt sugest but it works all you need is a bottle of your fav rum edge of a chair to make your leg numb a razor blade and pair of mini diks, and that red powder stuff that makes scabs instantly.
i let it grow till i coulnt take the pain got my self all set up and put the razerblade between the nail and skin and finished the job the nail started and yaddy yaddy yaddy. life sucks with not health insurance.

Atleast you got it numbed first. My piano took my big one off when I was moving a few years back...that felt great.

Been there before. Except it was a camper shell. Stupid me was wearing sandals at the time. Took about a year to grow back.
