      I had issues with mine as well. Cotton under the nail didn’t help much. A doctor removed the nail and it grew back ingrown again. Then a second time. Finally on the third removal they killed the nail bed and I just don’t have a toenail on my right big toe.

        A nice „fuck you I win” solution. Do you have any complications from it besides a weird looking foot?

          Quite the opposite, actually. I find it more comfortable and less hassle than actually having a nail there. Looking a bit weird is pretty much the only downside.

            I don’t know if I would even notice someone was missing a toenail unless it was pointed out to me. Hope you’re not self conscious about it

              I’m missing the entire big toe on my left foot. You’d be amazed how few people notice, even at the beach. I guess most people aren’t into feet - no offense to Quentin Tarantino.

          Not the person you responded to, but I don’t have big toe nails. My only complaint is that parts of the bed still grow, so I have bits of nail that I have to trim every few months, sometimes just ripping the whole bit out by the root.

            I had heard that was a possible complication. Fortunately my nail bed was completely killed, no growth left at all.

        I had the same except they only removed the portion of the nail bed on the side where is was growing ingrown, so my nail is smaller now but it still grows!

      I did this for almost a year. Shoving the cotton was is excruciatingly painful. I said fuck it and went to a pediatrist. 20 minute procedure later and absolutely no pain if you have insurance please consider it

        What did they do in the procedure? Both big toes have this issue. Maybe I’ll get a referral!

          They had to put a needle in that area which …kinda hurt? Just felt like a small prick. Then afterwards I put in my airpods and let the doctor scrape away. Afterward, no more sensitivity and feeling like I’m going to go through the roof whenever I slightly bump or touch it. Make sure they put the chemical in the area that kills the root.

          I first had this done by a hospital health system and they fucked it up and it was fine with no pain and it slowly came back. Went to a local independent 8 months later and it hasn’t grown back.

          I’ll add an addendum that my wife had to twist my arm to eventually go (first time) as I was worried about the cost. I can’t stress it enough to please go if to can

      Do you guys not have Pedicurists?

        No, no we don’t have many of them, because most people where I’m from don’t have enough excess money to spend on pedicures to justify their existence in most places.

          Excess money, lmao, it’s 23 euros for me once a month, it’s a self care expense I have been going since I was masking like 600 euros a month
