Pretty sure I have an ingrown toenail (left foot big toe in case your interested hehe).
Anyone got any good home surgery remedies for curing it ?
Been cutting away at it when it gets too painful which does the trick for a while.
Dont really want to go and see anyone about it as its more fun to have a go at it yourself

Hey i could even post some pictures for your viewing pleasure hehe

i had one years ago,gave me hell, i just got a stanley knife razorblade and sliced the fcker from cuticle up to nail tip on side where was in growing, hurt a bit lol, but end result was worth it as it fixed itself

I might have to try that one out.
Cant seem to get in deep enough with the nail scissors before it starts bleeding too much lol

Had my 2 big toes sliced and diced by a surgeon a few years back due to massive problems with these and i still get 1 on the 1 foot but it doesnt cause any dis-comfort(just have to pull it out every few weeks) Think you should be able to get it done properly if you go to NHS but it hurts like a bitch. But if your scared of going to the docs and have a high pain threshold then i would suggest the post above

I had one back when I was about 17 or so and had it for 2 years before I finally took the plunge and had the whole nail removed, I had a number of operations in that time to correct it one without local anesthetic which absolutely killed I can tell you, get it treated asap

Yeah my pal done the stanley blade trick to his then with scissors picked at it all the time. Finally got it sorted by a chiropodist but he still wouldn't leave it alone. He went through alot of pain before having both big toenails removed.

Go and see a chiropodist don't take a blade to it.

i had one when i was about 17 but i just kept digging it out and cutting the ingrown bit off. it sorted itself out.

Best advice; get soem cotton wool, roll it between your fingers til its really small, and get some clippers, and push it down the side of the nail affected, it gets inbetween and takes the pressure off the nail digging into the skin.

This is what the chiropadist (spel) did for me, and it worked, happened a few times when I was younger until I had to have my nail properly cut in two (on 9/11 - always rememebr that day lol) injected the toe and never felt a thing.

Learn to cut your nails instead of picking the fvckers!!

Yeah I always cut them, have always had problems with that one side of the nail tho, normally it sorts itself out ok but this time it doesnt seem to want to, i like the idea with the cotton wool tho, might have to try that bit.

Honestly mate, it works, just make it nice and neat and roll it up, and ram it down between the nail and skin, you need to really pack it so its not irritating the skin, once its calmed down, it should be ok to pull it out

old mums trick to get rid of the infection:

bread poultice (sp). heat a flake of bread up, add a little water, put on some cotton wool and bandage round the infection. something to do with the yeast apparently.

Just smash your toe nail as hard as you can with a club hammer.
