Toenail

Since about this time last week I have had an ingrowing toenail, it was kinda not so bad in the beginning, but since Friday its kept me awake at night, I was wondering if any of you have a non hospital approach to removing one?Heres my approach so far-
(1)Tie a shoe lace around offending toe to stop a little of the pain
(2)Use the right tools(cut throat razor, needle, those little electrician screw drivers)
(3)Cut away surrounding skin to give a better view
(4)Cry a little
(5)Use the screw driver to hold back whats left of skin
(6)Dig with needle
(7)Sweat
(8)Cry

Now the above method has always worked for me before, but, alas not this time:( .It was made worse last night when i was digging away and the screwdriver slipped and I stabbed myself right in the painful bit of my toe, i haven't felt such pain since I sat on me bollock.Please help:(

Who - talking to the expert here.

Had an ingrown toenails for 7 years.

Had the large toenail on my left foot removed 3 times and the toenail on my right foot removed twice.

My recommendation - go to the hospital.

The first 4 times, the did a hack job on the toes. Ripping out the toenail and cutting away part of the root so that the nail is narrower.

On the last, I went to a different "clinic" and they BURNT the nailbed out with acid - was back to work in 2 days.

THERE WAS NO PAIN in the last operation.

You sick little puppy.

Unless you deliberately want a toe that is strangely red/purple, HUGE and seeping puss and/or toenails dropping off like you are a bizarre Fly wannabe, seek medical help.

If you just see the nurse, then that's something. Tell her about your medieval self help kit, it may just keep her laughing for a while, but please reassure her that you don't drill holes in your head to let out the bad demons.

Go there now.

And invest in some Sudocream. Miracle cure all, except cases of potential scepticemia or gangrene.

Damini, the demons have to be let out somewhere.....but seriously is that cream gonna help?

It will help, as it is antisceptic, and works on EVERYTHING from sunburn to spots to eczema, but its not going to help a man who is raiding his tool kit to renovate his mankey toe. Before the desperate application of a car jack and a stanley knife, before it got to that stage, it might have done. But now you must see a nurse. Who will probably throw you at a doctor. No machoing out of this one. Go.

go to fucking hospital. I had ingrowing toenails on both big toes, on both sides.

ouch.

got no big toenails at all now :/

Depending on how early in the game it is, sometimes it's wise to soak it in warm/hot salty water for a while till the nail goes soft(er) and then you'll be able to pry it up easier. if it's too far gone just go to the doctor. Trust me, it's really not worth fucking about with them cos they'll get worse and worse.

(p.s. remember if you cut down the side, that's the direction the nail will grow hence making it worse. so don't do that)

Trem will not go to the doctors, for anything. The only thing that he hates (or is scared of) more than doctors are dentists. He really is a strong believer of self diagnosis and self treatment.

I have had the pleasure of being in the same room as him over the past few nights whilst he has been digging maniacally at his toe with various implements (including my good tweezers). Its not very pretty and yet it just makes me angry when occasionally he looks up at me with tear filled eyes to tell me that its hurting. I know its hurting, thats because he's been cutting at it and digging in to at at every opportunity. He even got up out of bed last night to come down for a bit of late night digging action!

I have told him to seek professional advice (physically and mentally) but he just wont listen to me. I really hope that you guys have more luck, he will end up maiming himself for life. I'm not sure I'll feel the same way about a man with only one big toe:p

Do you think having only one big toe will affect his sense of balance? I'm curious.

Tremm, go to see a nurse for crying out loud. If its bad enough for you to want to consult us medical retards about it, then its bad enough to get something done about it.

Suffering from a huge red sceptic toe is, I'm fairly sure, a huge turn off. Man toes are never going to be the sexiest thing alive, due to their penchant to grow obscenely un-necessairy coarse hairs in a patch one inch squared on them, but combine that with inflamed and yellow puss and you have a sure fire antidote to sex.

Seek Help.

You could alway try using a sharp Stanley Knife to score across the top of the nail a few times, eventually cutting through it and removing the nail in reverse from where it has dug in.

or like samm says, go to the hospital you wuss :)

I'll see how it goes over night, although tomorrow i have a dentist appointment, that coupled with the doctors may just send me over in the edge in a Fred West type way:( My dad has a Dremell multi purpose tool which could do the trick in both instances.....hmmmmmmmmm.I burn my toe hair, samm loves the smell of that too:D

The chemists do something for it aswell, so I have been told.

what you could do too: take a very large ax and chop your toes off. You will never have ingrown toenails, and you can buy smaller shoes.
