I spent years with an ingrown toenail. I could walk on it just fine but if I stubbed it I'd be down for about 10 minutes. Finally just went to the Dr and he fixed it right up. Now when I cut the nail I just have to make sure I don't cut it too short or risk it becoming ingrown again. I was kicking myself for not having done this sooner.

Can you please explain the process the doctor did to correct it? Everything online involved some surgery. Your comment made it look less painful.

For me, they applied local anesthesia, grabbed the nail with some tool, then pulled it the fuck off. I don't know if this is how it is always done, but this was a military doctor (I was a dependent).

Same experience with a regular doctor. It’s been 20 years and hasn’t been a problem since.
