Stubbing that toe would be a bad time

Just remove the fucking nail already!

[–]hr342509 6 points7 points ago

I have had countless ingrown toenails and 3 surgeries, 2 of which prevent me from having new ingrown nails. How can someone let that get so bad? Before it even looks ingrown it's painful!!!

[–]Dazanan 1 point2 points ago

I had one to have a particularly bad one removed but never had the follow up surgery to have it so they could never happen again. I dont get them as bad as I used to. But I can't understand how someone lets it get this bad either. I tear them out myself long before they could get to this point...

[–]Ryguylv 2 points3 points ago

Why did you let it get THAT bad?!?

[–]Ceigee 2 points3 points ago

Cut it off For the sake of Humanity!!

[–]gratuitous_upvote 2 points3 points ago

so easy to fix. get an exacto knife, (preferably sanitized) then go to work at sawing a line down either side of the nail, up and down from tip to root. Then get some strong ass tweezers and yank the sides out of their roots. You will find an ungodly hook of solid nail that goes so deep into all that infected flesh you'll wonder how you walked around with them.

TL;DR: skip the doctor, you can do this at home.

[–]Furyxus 1 point2 points ago

Nope.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I can't understand why anyone would want sharp squared toenails. File that shit.

[–]redkoala 2 points3 points ago

Probably because having round toenails with filed-down edges is the easiest way to give yourself ingrowns.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Well fuck.

[–]sirmegalorddrawesome 1 point2 points ago

i've been plagued by these my whole life, once one side actually appeared like this. i never wanted to get the nail removed from the base to prevent it for happening again but after years of paying for minor surgeries that the NHS wouldn't pay for i learnt to take care of them myself.

also they fucking HURT. more than anything i've ever felt, especially if you stub your toe. you can't wear shoes etc. imagine taking a scalpel and sliding it down the side of you toe into your flesh and breaking it off to leave in there

May want to get that looked at bud.

[–]FlameSama1 0 points1 point ago

So...had my feet up when I pulled up this picture. My pinky toe tapped an envelope I have sitting on a table. GENUINELY went "What the fuck?!" and jumped a bit. Well played.

[–]Baroliche 0 points1 point ago

Wow that looks painful.

[–]Sandbox47 0 points1 point ago

Ewwwww. I had something very much like this though, tbh. It was fun picking the bleagh out from under the nail with with toothpicks. I had it like for a year. It hurt as hell to wear shoes.

[–]shangfrancisco 0 points1 point ago

Cannot unsee

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

is it horrible that I really just want to squeeze it?!

[–]ZeeZee19 0 points1 point ago

This looks just as bad as mine was. Im getting it removed in 2 week becomes im sick of cutting it bit by bit for 5 years. When I was 16 3 years ago I took most of the nail off myself. I soaked it in ice water for a wile, cut as deep as I could take it down the side. I got my brother 2 take some pliers and he pulled it clean out. It was the most painful thing I ever felt. I decided not 2 do the other side and the other toe lol.
