Title: Ingrown Toe Nails Anyone?
Post by: Bix on October 23, 2006, 10:56:00 PM
Well, today I had my fourth ingrown toe nail surgery. Basically they cut the sides of the toe nails. I know LOTS of people have them. Maybe not many people here since they come from sports. Post if you have had any ingrown toe nails.

Weird question for this forum, but yes I have had one and I fixed it myself(lifted up nails with a knife and cut them off with toe nail clippers.)

I've had 3 ingrown toe nail surgeries sofar, last one was last christmas (I had my op. at the start of the holidays so I could rest for a week or 2 withoout missing out on school work), to be honest, I quite miss having them... They seem to have stalled now, but they could come back. I know one person who gets them anually since he was 2 or something...

Can't you just keep them trimmed to prevent that?
Title: Re: Ingrown Toe Nails Anyone?
Post by: SkateR on October 24, 2006, 03:32:18 PM
yeah. You don't get them from sports. You get it from not cutting them..slobs

The pain makes you less tense when other things happen.
I love you.

I doesn't hurt, just put a knife just under your toenail(like you would the bottom part of clippers) and just move out while pulling up and it pulls it out without ripping it.  After that just clip it and be on your way.

The true fix for ingrown toenails is to have the sides trimmed to the nail root, then have the sides of the nail root deadened so that they will not grow any more.

problem solved.

Nails are already dead, so yea. Just dont trim them so fricken much and dont let them grow so long. Not too hard.

tried that, didnt work. next step: complete removal of the tonail.

lol knack i do cut to the nail root. then wait for it to grow back. problem is, i cut it to much lets say 1 out of 100 toes will get ingrown. well i cut mine 100 times in 4 months (yea i cut them most of the time everyday) so i get 1 ingrown every 4 months.

Every day?  I don't even know how frequently I cut mine.  It's just one of those deals where I look down and say, "Oh, I need to trim these."

Mine go for more. I mostly cut them when they become inconvenient/painful.
