Ingrown toe nail?

How do you get rid of it?Ingrown toe nail?
Really the only true way to get rid of it is to have it removed. I had to get it done to both of my big toes and it hurt a fair amount but it was so much better afterwards. Do a local search for podiatrist and be sure that you will have atleast 2 weeks where you will not be using your feet too much(like if you are in a sport right now wait untill you're finished)





DO NOT, DO NOT dig it out yourself, I tried this and it got really really infected and hurt for weeks. Plus, you probly wont remove the whole thing and it might grow back.Ingrown toe nail?
It is pretty painful to get rid of. You will have to go to a foot doctor and he will cut it out on that side and put these splnt things in it till it heals so you will not be able to wear inclosed shoes.


If you can dig it out yourself then that is great too, but very difficult to do. If you do try it your self then you need to soak your food in hot water for a while so the toe nail will be softer.
Rip that son of a gun OUT! thats all theyll do at a docs office, either way... so spend nothing or rip it out for $100... your call and good luck, bite on a towel!!
you better dig out the corner of the toenail using a pick or something that has somewhat of a pointy/sturdy edge and cut it off cause once that thing gets deep in your skin and starts pussing up really bad you're going to have to go to the doctor and get half the toenail cut off. my mom had that done, i had to take her to the ER cause her toe was about to burst, being so filled with puss. it's taking months for half of her toe to grow back now. best of luck, i know that **** hurts.
