Why would anyone pull a hangnail? Are there no fingernail clippers where you cavemen live?

He needed an entry for the "manliest thing you have ever done" thread.

Mine was more of an ingrown nail than a hang nail. Cut/tear/rip the bastard out!!! Sore for a day or so but much better over the long run vs having daily cutting into my toe.

In a related note, the images in Wikipedia's page on ingrown nails are almost enough to make me pass out.

1. Take some lemon juice and saturate it with table salt and apply the mixture directly to the open wound.

2. Then apply pressure using an alcohol soaked paper towel.

3. Leave towel on until bleeding subsides, and then pull it off quickly.

4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 until wound stops bleeding or patient passes out.

That was the first thing that came to mind. Sadly, it didn't work. I even bit down on a stick.

I just fixed my nails last week. All good for another month.

grab your soldering iron to sear the surface and keep all the juices inside.

You pansy I thought the Vandenbos procedure was interesting. Sometimes you really do have to scrap it all and start from scratch.

Those photos tell me I have wonderful feet! Wow.

Just get the sides of your big toes' nails permanently cut off at a podiatrist. After fighting with painful ingrown nails for years, I'm am now impervious to the stupid things. My toes are a painfree temple! They just look stupid.

Fungus, damage to the nail bed, etc.

My mother had those kind. All my toenails are normal except the ones next to my big toes are like domes. They are perfectly wide enough but are shaped almost spherical and curve sharply down, creating a kind of protective cap over the front of the toe. If I somehow removed the nail across the top instead of the front where it angles down, I would be bleeding and sore because that part that is supposed to attach to the nail also extends over the front.

I say we lift off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

My dad is somewhere between B and C. He digs the sides out with the file on the nailclippers every now and then. Lots of bleeding. He says it's from clipping his toes like he does his fingers, istead of a straight line.
