Man, I get them all of the time.

It's a good thing that I have clippers, a gouger thing, and needle nose plyers. Just got to get rid of the blood. :beer:

Just go to the damn doctor/hospital and get that fixed properly.

I only had one and that was enough.

Mine didn't look that bad, but they still hurt like a SOB. Get thee to a podiatrist and have them surgically fixed.

That worked wonders for me.

Which one are you talking about? The big one with the fungus or the bleeding third one?

I've had an ingrown toenail for two years now, keeps growing back all fuxked up.

I'm going to have it removed and some medicine put on so the toenail doesn't grow back; damn.

You're supposed to cut straight across according to the specialist dudette that looked at my feet about my problem with ingrown toenails :confused:

Yep, straight across (squarish) for toenails, and round (just follow the skin line) for fingernails.

but if you have an ingrown, cutting a V out of the middle sometimes helps relieve the pressure

Aha, that makes sense. I was thinking you meant to essentially cut it to a point.
