I've had an ingrown toenail for a few days now. Originally we thought we had gotten it all because the pain stopped, but it came back like no other and it has been hard for me to walk these past two days. My mother said she would dig it out when she brought home some lidocane (sp) a numbing agent, because she said the pain of going in and digging the nail out would be too painful. Well I haven't been over there and tonight I decided to do it myself, without lidocane. I got a pair of tweesers and a pair of small scissors and went to town on my toe.
Anyone else ever have a really bad ingrown? How did you get rid of it? Also, any tips on how to prevent one. This was really really painful and I'd rather not go through it again.
