My hammer toe tends to get them, but what I do is now I keep them a bit longer than the edge of my toe. This way, it doesn't allow it to grow inward anymore, so I make sure I don't clip it too short otherwise it will come back.

Many people don't know that you are supposed to leave toenails longer than fingernails.

WTF is a hammer toe?

Whereas the pad of your toe is in contact with the ground, his is curled causing the tip to touch the ground.

I had an ingrowing toenail once that was a persistant problem on the same foot for about 5 years, then one day in frustration I just ripped the whole nail out with a pair of pliers, and went to the doctors for advice. He refered me to the local hospital, where they applied some gunk with a cotton bud to the base of my toenail root to kill it off for good.

Now I'm happy to be the owner of a Toe that looks like a Nose.., no nail has re-grown for about 10 years, and it dosen't affect me in any way other than appearence, I can still play football, sports etc. +10 manly points for you.

Either you're insane, or you need a cart to carry your balls around with you.

I have an ingrown toe nail. I have had it for some time, and am now starting to take care of it. I have been able to pop out the nail using my Swiss knife, but once I pop the nail out, what do I do with it? Just let it be, trim it or what?

No way in hell I am going to a doc because it is going to hurt much more, and they will most likely take the whole nail off, when it isnt ingrown all that much. I thought that it was going to be much deeper than what it really is given how long I have ignored it.

Yea my brother thought like u did, he did surgery on himself, ended up getn infected and got puss and he was in alot of pain and in the end he ended up going to the doctor..

Because I remember how horrible his big toe was, Id recommend u do the proper thing

Heres a vote for note going

The treatment is way worse than the problem, in the UK ingrowing nails are seen as "in-out" jobs that make your doctors stats look good, they dont care if there butchering you or not.

Try not to were any shoes or trainers for as long as you can each day and keep it covered in savlon and chances are itl go away.

Most ingrowing nails are caused by shoes that dont fit right ( not necisarally too tight )
